Hey all my name is Jack, from Illinois and live in Los Angeles, California. I'm a photographer and love to connect with others, easygoing with a wry sense of humor.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hoping to connect with people while traveling and host guests who are visiting Los Angeles. Would love to hang out and develop a connection rather than just a place to crash but understand everyone has different preferences and needs.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: basically everything. Electronic, country, rock, folk, rap. Been on an ambient and minimalist electronic kick lately

Movies: Love documentaries, dramas, international film, screwball comedies and cheesy romcoms. Love Todd Haynes, Fassbinder, Sofia Coppola, Coen Brothers, David Lynch, Howard Hawks and anything with Julianne Moore in it :)

Books: don't read as much as I'd like to but enjoy fiction by Alan Hollinghurst, Marilynne Robinson, Deborah Eisenberg, and Lorrie Moore

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Take a small cruise on the Amazon River and experience the nature and culture of the Amazonian jungle!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversation, curiosity, a home cooked meal, and perhaps even a portrait of you or your home if you wish!
