Hello! I'm a photographer, writer and podcast producer, based in Los Angeles. I'm taking a break from my desk job to explore SE Asia for a few months this Fall. Would love to connect with other people passionate about cycling, hiking, yoga, vegan cooking, traveling, dancing, and more. I've been away from CS website but have hosted dozens of couch surfers at my home in the past decade.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I cherish the idea that there are locals who would be willing to open their homes to fellow travelers. I've hosted travelers before, with the intention of paying back the generosity and hospitality shown to me over the years. Hostels are nice, too, but I like the concept of seeing a new country through the humble perspective of someone's everyday experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a bit about Acroyoga and the basics of birding.
