About Me

I am a freelance journalist for Huffington Post, L.A. Weekly, and Everfest. I specialize in covering live music and culture with a focus on transformational festivals and the underground scene, exploring the rich diversity that pulses just beneath the surface of the mainstream music world. When I'm not chasing (or writing about) the next music festival, I enjoy hiking, camping, traveling, rock climbing, slacklining, dancing, singing and reading.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To build connections and give forth. I can't always afford to travel but hosting travelers can be just as rewarding.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love underground electronic bass music, classic rock, jazz, blues, soul, hip hop, funk and disco. Some of my favorite books are Stephen King's The Stand, Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy, Elizabeth Gilbert's Big Magic, Milan Kundera's The Unbearable Lightness of Being and Carlos Castaneda's A Separate Reality. My favorite film director is Stanley Kubrick, but I am also a fan of the Lord of the Rings films, Trainspotting, The Godfather and Shogun Assassin.
