Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Cherishing and deepening connections.

Couchsurfing is a really great way to meet people while traveling. I've stayed in longer term contact with a few people I've stayed with and also with someone I've hosted, and occasionally have met those same people again!

Offer a temporary shelter for those weary (or energetic) explorers of life. Located ~40 minute drive from DTLA.

If you are going to request a place/to meet, please show you read my profile! There's a hidden key in the couch info.
