I'm a 26-year-old millennial poet and performer born and raised on the east coast (NY) and currently living in Los Angeles.

I like to both game and do stuff outdoors (e.g., hike, beach, explore); former runner and Quidditch seeker; unabashed nerd and lover of pop culture.

When I'm not writing new material or trying new food, I'm usually hanging with friends, promoting stuff for $, or planning my next trip

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of my personal agreements for 2018 is to travel more; that being said, lodging can be expensive! Trying my best to make a few solid connections and stop making excuses from getting out and seeing more of what the world has to offer outside my neighborhood. LA does have a lot, but I know there's more out there to do and see and I definitely want to try taking my art on the road too!
