CURRENT MISSION

I want to meet fascinating people, learn and laugh with them, and experience diversity of culture and perspective.

ABOUT ME

I don’t like it when people write things about themselves.

PHILOSOPHY

Yes. Or no thanks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

by being myself and letting other people be themselves, and then cool things happen...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

excellent

Interests

I have a relatively healthy obsession with surfing. I like to be in nature. I used to be a professional musician and I still love listening and going to shows. Experiencing culture through food is something I try to do often, even with LA. I have been a student of Chinese martial and internal arts for more than half of my life. And I make films with most of my time.
