Overview
About Me
Born & raised in California(Santa Monica) Went to school there (USC TROJANS!!), graduated. With free time I love to go out and mingle. I loved my city(Los Angeles)for constantly giving me something new to do, looking for that same energy in the world!
I really hate being defined in boxes like this. An internet page will never do a person's soul justice.
I consider myself ambitious, intelligent and loyal.
I'm a hard working slacker with a warped sense of humor, a lover of good(and bad) films, music and food. Hate politics( just despise the games that are played with peoples lives), racism, destructive religious practices, materialism, sexism, homophobia!
Climbing the ladder in the massive bubble that is the film industry. Without getting into specifics, I'm working in the writing and directing side of the industry. It's very exciting and a bit stressful time in my life but I'm incredibly thankful for the opportunity and realize how fortunate I am.
I love making people laugh. Making AMAZING music mixes for people. I'm a GREAT listener 'cept when it comes to gossip or just a person being negative about life in general. Only want good energy around me. Life is what YOU make it. People who are close to me know not to bring me any gossip or drama; life is much too short to get fixated on the bs. However, when you've got something 'real' to talk about, I'm there for you.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Life is short and there are some amazing people out there. I want to take my energy and spread love. Meet the world. Love the world!
