ABOUT ME

Hi!
It's been a while since I checked into my CS account and realized I need to update my life. I traveled using CS for almost a year and am so grateful to the amazing people I met along my journey. I now live in Santa Monica / Venice area. I work part time at an organic vegan resturant in Venice called Cafe Gratitude. I've also been doing some work in the travel business working with tour companies abroad and developing my own projects in the States.

If I'm not sitting in front of my computer, reading a book, or working you'll find me outdoors. I love surfing, hiking, paddle boarding, riding my bike, doing yoga.....having fun! I go out a few nights a week to hear live music or hang out with friends. As for couchsurfing with me I'm happy to have one person stay for a night or two. I do have a roommate (Alley) and my dog Babs. We live in a small, but nice apartment 6 blocks from the beach. She's never done CS so I need to ease her into having people come stay with us. : )

I left my previous "about me" below so you can learn more about me and see where my journey has gone from my travels until now.

Hope you have a safe journey where ever you are.

Michael

I've been a talent agent/manager in Los Angeles for the past 10 years. My life has been dedicated to helping others with their career and life. I decided it was time to be my own manger and live the life I have always wanted. I'm traveling Australia in search of meeting amazing people and seeing some fantastic things. I trust being open to all this journey can offer will not only enlighten and inspire me, but also everyone I meet. I love having great conversations and learning about others. I'm honest, open, caring, loving, adventurous, and have a great sense of humor :)
I'm very new to CS and would be VERY grateful for people to take me under their wings and show me around. I look forward to meeting you!
