Born and raised by the beach in California.

Art director / Music producer / Nature nerd

I'm a pretty laid-back, observant, creative person. Constantly absorbing the world around me, I often have to remind myself to get involved because I get lost in interesting details. I'm super curious about other people their experiences in this wiggly world. Guided by absurdity and authentic, warm energy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I didn't get to travel much as a kid, so my only way to experience the world was by meeting people from other places. Couchsurfing is a great way to connect with people outside your bubble.

I'm really interested in learning about other people, their ideas, and things they have made.

Interests

Experienced dabbler. I've been into everything from gardening and growing mushrooms, to hacking electronics and building computers. I work as a designer and artist, so always learning about new things is a way of life.
