- native Californian born and raised in LA only to live this second half of my life in various countries.

I'm a daydreamer born in the wrong era-- living a life of passion and vigor, filled with good wine, great coffee, and world-class food... I said I was a daydreamer right? ;)

Looking forward to meeting kind souls along the way, and keeping Couchsurfing as a place where we stay with ‘friends we haven’t met yet’.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am curious to see the city through your eyes!

I have absolutely loved showing people around my home (whether that may be in Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, or Berlin, Amsterdam, {looking for the next home as we speak!})-- getting a glimpse of life in another town is infinitely more fulfilling with a local friend... I have traveled by myself but seeing places through someone else's perspective is what intrigues me the most.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
