I was born & raised in the Los Angeles area (SouthBay to be exact; near Manhattan Beach). I'm an avid sports, music, fashion, & culture fan. I'm chill, optimistic, a huge dreamer, & live for experiences.

“I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter.”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's my first time traveling internationally. A lot of my friends & colleagues highly recommended I create a profile. I am going to Europe to work on music (i.e., songwriting). I don't know anyone. My friends said this would be a great way to meet nice, welcoming, fun people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm in a fraternity that steps and strolls (a type of dance). I created a dance exhibition called Battle of Troy to unite African-Americans and Latino/as (there's some tension amongst both ethnic group in SoCal). The program has now been in existence since 2007 and raised over $40,000 for inner city schools :)
