CURRENT MISSION

All the old people in my life tell me to live it up as a young person. I want to experience everything I can while I've got my health and freedom. Gotta be proactive in this life!

ABOUT ME

Just a dude from LA, living in West Oakland. Love to play music (bass and guitar) and create community. Recently worked as a behavior therapist at a high school in Oakland. Very into meeting new people and learning about new cultures. Studied a year abroad in France, became fluent in the language :). Been really into yoga lately, and love playing baseball and other team sports. I'm now accepting guests after years of having houses that would not allow it. Very stoked on the prospect of meeting cool people!
PHILOSOPHY

Never get bored and never hold back. Love and listen. Be kind to others and everything will turn out ok. We only got a short period of time on this Earth so live it up!!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going to France for a year was by far the craziest thing I've done in my life. I learned so much about myself that year. It was insane being plopped down in a country where you had zero friends or support. I ended up making some of the bestest friends I could of asked for and realized that if you put yourself out there, some amazing things will come into fruition.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to jam with anyone who wants. I am always into speaking French with people and talking History / Politics. Current events are super interesting to me as well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a positive attitude and a lust for new experiences. I absolutely love visiting new cities. It brings me a sensation that lies dormant when I live somewhere for long, extended periods of times.

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Spain, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
