About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The hammock that's swinging is bringin' the good life perspective.

ABOUT ME

I like putting the blame on Mame and walking the streets so long.

I grew up in Los Angeles and am currently studying film production at the University of Southern California. I live to travel, eat, and catch magical and ethereal moments by way of memory, photography, or film. I am studying in Prague at FAMU at the moment and I have been enjoying it very much.

PHILOSOPHY

Peace and quiet are for libraries.

AND

It is what it is.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm really interested in this network and can't wait to surf some couches. It's a wonderful way to really get to know a city and make new friends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had two great experiences as a host so far - they were both exceptional and more fun that I would have ever expected.

Interests

Concerts, Cooking, and New York City.
