Heyo! My name is Losa. I was born and raised in the burbs of southern California until I went to Syracuse University, where I spent four years studying television-radio-film and sociology in upstate New York. I am a storyteller. I love learning about people's stories and capturing them; my favorite way of doing this is through filmmaking and traveling.

While I was in school, I studied abroad twice--the first time was a three week program in Mumbai, India where I learned about the Hindi film industry, and the second was in Madrid, Spain where I learned about Spanish culture and European culture in general. I have also been to the Philippines, where I have many family members. I've always been immersed in diverse environments and situations and I look forward to finding myself in more of them!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I currently live on a school bus and run a media production company with two of my friends. We use this platform as a way to find places for us to park and ways we can meet cool open-minded folks on the road.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to spin a baton (I used to be a drum major in the marching band), random Tagalog words, and how to play Monopoly Deal. It's a really dope card game.
