CURRENT MISSION

There is no certainty. There is only adventure.

ABOUT ME

Born in Alaska. Raised in Oregon. Educated in California. Living it up all over the globe.

In October 2012 I quit my job(s) in LA and bought a one way ticket to Hong Kong. I spent the following 4 months traveling around SE Asia (HK, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore). Now, I'm back in the US road tripping North America.

I love to travel (obviously), create, adventure, explore, geek out, and overall just try to experience as much of this weird world as I can while I can.

2 parts whimsy, 1 part sass.

PHILOSOPHY

The most dangerous risk of all - the risk of spending your life not doing what you want on the bet that you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was told about this website just as I was fleeing life in LA and indefinitely traveling in SE Asia. I am now back road tripping the US, hoping to meet some new amazing people and experience the best this continent has to offer!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been couchsurfing my way across North America and back. Can't wait to finally host once I've "settled down" (whenever/wherever that may be)! It's all about paying it forward.

Interests

I'm into traveling, scuba diving, reading, writing, hiking, camping, film-making, unusual people, beer tasting, live shows, road trips, tide pools, eating organic, photography, museums, swimming, contagious laughter, and pretty much anything that glows in the dark.

Music, Movies, and Books

Authors: Christopher Moore, David Sedaris, George R.R. Martin, JK Rowling (ignoring the horrible, terrible, no good "book"...The Casual Vacancy), and Chuck Palahniuk.

Films: Labyrinth, Amelie, Jurassic Park, Mary & Max, and everything Wes Anderson. Yes, I realize I'm cheating with that last one. :)

Shows: Battlestar Galactica, Freaks and Geeks, Six Feet Under, Game of Thrones, and Californication.

Music: The Beatles, Radiohead, Beck, The Shins, and Sigur Ros.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Scuba diving some of the best dive sites in the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have traveled a decent amount and along with a million stories I have tons of tips for traveling around SE Asia, Costa Rica, Europe, and a decent portion of the states.

Working in television and film for years, I also have a lot of great stories on how wacky LA and "the business" can be - and why it should all be avoided! ;)

I've got a few good recipes up my sleeve as well!
