I live in Los Angeles and spend a lot of time in San Francisco. I love exploring the world, asking questions, curious people, dancing, and adventures. I'm working hard now on a feature film which is almost finished about disinformation.

I'm queer and have enjoyed connecting more deeply with that identity in recent years, starting a queer co-op in LA and hosting events.

I made an international event called Nametag Day, where people wear nametags to signify friendliness and openness, and a grant supporting American Muslim filmmakers. I like to think about social movements and how people relate to each other. I've spent a lot of time on a journey of self exploration and personal healing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've met friends while traveling on this site and hung out with couchsurfers my friends have hosted. I love to meet new people and get into fun adventures.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Backpacked around Costa Rica, relied on the kindness of expats and other foreigners I met. I now host people at our house in LA at times!
