About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To ascend into a higher level of being human through creative interaction with others with the same wanderlust as I have.

ABOUT ME

About me? Vivacious, a bit wacky, humorous and positive! I love my life and the people in it. I dress well (I'm a bit of a fashion whore) but I am by no means rude or pretentious. I grew up a bit unorthodox, but it's made me who I am today and I wouldn't give it up for anything. I suppose describing myself might help? I'm just shy of 6'2", blond hair with blue eyes, pale white skin (Melanoma is a bitch, lemme tell ya), skinny.. I look a little bit like Jodi Foster mixed with a bit of Dianne Keaton, but boyish? Certainly not as manly as Jodi Foster, that's for sure. I'm well-educated, and was a former liberal arts major with an emphasis on creative writing. I love to write, and I write a lot so i may be buried in my notebook or laptop scribbling and typing away at something for a while during a visit. I'm gay, but certainly not militant in my views and am extremely open-minded to others' opinions. I have a roommate whom is a wonderful person and a charming spirit. He's very open-minded and fun-loving so feel free to bring any sort of experience into our home (but keep it positive and/or funny, please). We share a room dormitory style so the living room is all for you! We are by no means early risers, so you have your morning to yourself and you're welcome to sleep in. Also, we don't mind being woken up (and I find this important), so if you need anything or if there are monsters under your couch, you just go on ahead and let us know and we'll take care of the problem. ;D

PHILOSOPHY

"It is ordinary to love the marvelous, but it is marvelous to love the ordinary."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to host and offer others the opportunity to travel without having to stay in a cheap hotel and do the tourist shit that I HATE when I travel. It's better to experience a visit with someone who understand the city and culture, and you make a great friend!

Interests

Fashion, MUSIC, geography, writing, history, metaphysics, unorthodox conversational topics, reading, neo-baroque literature and music, art. I'm of the curious variety, so anything goes, really.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Oh, there are so many. Another conversation left for a talk between someone visiting and myself.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've traveled all over the world and seen a lot of things from a very young age. I'm wise beyond my years and have a lot of fun and adventurous stories to share with others. I'm a good listener and well-spoken, so sharing information is a wonderful experience with me. I know many interesting and amazing people in Los Angeles and would love to introduce other interesting and amazing people to them.
