I like food and fun. I work hard, play hard and relax hard. I work hard during the week, so I treat myself during the weekends; I surf, bike, hike and enjoy delectable food and peaty scotch. I'm a sucker for new experiences and new destinations; I have a terminal case of wanderlust. I don't have my life figured out yet, but thats fine by me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

At the time of writing this profile, I'm relatively new to this community. I've surfed once and I've hosted once. Both times were rich and fulfilling experiences.

In my humble opinion, surfing is the best way to travel. It's great way to organically meet new friends and learn about new cultures. Waaayyyy better to experience a new destination with new local friends.

Hosting is really great as well. It's fun to show off all the things LA has to offer. I love being a tourist in my own city. In my travels, I've come across so many gracious and hospitable strangers, who have showed me around and helped me out. Hospitality is definitely something I'm trying to integrate into my own life.
