Hey guys! My name is Mo and I'm a native of Los Angeles. I'm a firefighter for the City of Los Angeles and work downtown LA.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel a ton, I love meeting new people, and most of all I love the City of Los Angeles. I know this city is REALLY tough to navigate if you don't know a local. So this is my way of giving back to all those great friends I've made travelling the world who were kind enough to show me around their home towns!

Interests

I'm a guy who LOVES TO TRAVEL! I also enjoy being outdoors, surfing, snowboarding, cooking (for the those of you from France, I attended culinary school at Institute Paul Bocuse while living in Lyon 😋) , eating, and lead an extremely active social life. I'm consider myself a foodie so I KNOW the Southern California food scene pretty well ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was lucky enough to travel to South America on a humanitarian mission. We set up mobile clinics in the jungle to give medical treatment to those in need. A life changing and unbelievably rewarding experience.
