About Me

Native(-ish) Angelino here (born in L.A. but not raised. Lived in Palmdale as a teen and then Hollywood for about 6 years); laid back and considerate. I'm an aficionado of world cultures. I dwell in language, science, and their nexus. Overall, I'm insatiably curious about the universe.

I tend to be thoughtful and practical but I've got an adventurous streak that gets me into all sorts of interesting situations.

Home base is L.A. I love my city, and i will gladly expound on its wonders and give you advise on how best to experience its greatness. But I was born to perambulate the world. Hopefully moving to Japan for a few years.

PHILOSOPHY:

CARPE DIEM! Explore the world and live countless times through the eyes of others. Witness a different sunrise...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing couches and beds since 2013 for my various travels across my home state of California--and now across Europe too! Hoping to return the favor when my partner and I get our own place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's been wonderful. I usually travel with my partner. We've met some awesome people and connecting with them has resulted in unexpected adventures. As guests, we are very thankful and considerate about the time and place offered to us. We don't believe in freeloading; so we thank with respect in the least, but usually with great conversions and an invitation to dinner somewhere.

Interests

I enjoy books, thought-provoking films, outdoor activities, nature, photography, and travelling.
