I grew up on the outskirts of LA but lived a few years in San Diego and Santa Barbara for school and work. Now I'm in LA working and exploring all that this city has to offer.

I work in technology but I have a soft spot for vintage things like road bikes, VHS, and Polaroids. I love well designed objects, furniture, and architecture, but I also enjoy subjective and abstract art.

My motto in life is going with the flow and kicking back with a cup of coffee .

PHILOSOPHY
"Follow your bliss" - Joseph Campbell
"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." - Ferris Bueller's Day Off
"Never lost, only searching"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people who love to share their stories and communities with others.

Hoping to travel more!
