About Me

I was born and raised in Los Angeles. At 17, I moved to a suburban village of New York City, in Westchester to attend a small liberal arts college. When I was 21, I graduated and moved to Brooklyn, where I have bounced around many neighborhoods. There's a very, very brief synopsis of my life.

I'm interested in art, urban planning, politics, architecture, movies, pop culture, Winona Ryder, and so on. Love seeing new cities and using social media to meet new people.

I'm gay, btw. Would love to meet other lgbt people and experience the lgbt community in other cities.

And I'm a Libra.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After 6 years in New York, I am moving back home to Los Angeles. I'm going home by train, bus, and plane (no boat unfortunately). Will be stopping in Atlanta, New Orleans, and Austin.

I signed up in 2012, but this will be my first time using couch surfing! Excited to see it in action!
