About Me

I am currently working in Santa Maria California as a props artisan at PCPA theatre. It is tons of fun and we just finished up our production of Cinderella.

Last year, I hosted over 90 people in 6 months. I loved every second of it. But now, that I have switched from hosting to surfing, I am realizing that this part of couch surfing is not easy. In fact, I have been rejected by almost everyone. It's extremely frustrating. I went to Europe with the intent of couch surfing my way through for 3 months and had to cut it down to 3 weeks because only one person was generous enough to let me stay with them. What is the point of being on couch surfing if you are going to reject everyone who requests you? I heard this from allot of my guests too.
My big thing is if you are going to reject me, are least tell me why. If it is something about my profile or my message, tell me so I can change. If your just out of town, let me know!

CURRENT MISSION
To get a job as a props or scenery artist in the theatre industry.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couch surfing to meet new people, especially the people traveling from other countries. I love hearing about everyone else's experiences and their stories and sharing mine as well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer you a couch to stay on, a shower you can use, and washer and dryer machines if you are running low on clean clothes. I have lots of movies you can choose from if you just want to relax for a few hours. I am pretty open about you eating my food (just don't eat it all), but I cannot cook AT ALL. But if you want to cook, go right ahead. My apartment also has a fitness center you can use as well (treadmill, bike, weights) and I have a pool (only when it is warm enough).

There is a grocery story within walking distance of my apartment so if you want to go get yourself some food, its maybe a 5 minute walk down the road. There is also a Papa Johns and Subway just a stones throw away from my apartment as well.
