CURRENT MISSION

to let the wild rumpus start

ABOUT ME

I am a happy-go-lucky dork with a penchant for travel. In the meantime, I hope my two couches can serve as respite for fellow travelers making their way to sunny California.

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While I'm landlocked for the time being, I hope to vicariously live through the people I host. Feel free to use my apartment as a launching pad to the greater Los Angeles area, all I ask in return is that you tell me of all the cool places you've seen here and elsewhere!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A few years back, I was studying in London and used Couch Surfing to find a place to stay in Switzerland. There I met Bruno who made Geneva the best stop in all of Europe. I have not used Couch Surfing since (did not have the space to be a proper host), but now that I can, I am excited to pay it forward.

Interests

Along with the rest of humanity, I love movies, music, and food. Perhaps unique to me: movies I like include experimental/avant-garde stuff; music I like includes free-form jazz; and food I like includes frogs legs. I'm also a huge fan of the still ringless Phoenix Suns.
