About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Visit the CITY OF ANGELS!

ABOUT ME

I was born to travel. I took my first trip alone on a plane when I was 7, and havent stopped travelling since. I think meeting people and sharing is the best way to get to know any place.

I have been to Europe, Asia, Australia, S America and would like to visit Africa one day...

I am very interested in B^W photo, but have been shooting digital for a couple of years. I also make comics, and write scripts for other artists.

I love to cook, love to dance and am happiest meeting new people in a new place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host, surf, and generally try to give people tips on travelling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have CSurfed quite a bit, some of the coolest people are surfers. I have surfed in Thailand, in the middle of nowhere in a small village named Mae Mo, in Mexico all the way down the southern pacific coast, and in tons of other places. Its the best way to travel.
