I live in Northeast Los Angeles with my sweet dog and weirdo cat. I get a lot of requests and while I'd love to host everyone, my schedule doesn't always permit. If I can't host you at the moment-- my profile will say that we can meet up! Hit me up! I'd love to show you around my neighborhood.

Also, I'm always available to offer advice on how to navigate LA. LA is very big and it is easy to get overwhelmed and stuck in traffic or tourist traps. I'm happy to help you make your LA visit the best it can be.
