Hello there! My name's Ricardo and I work in post-production at a trailer house in LA (pretty original, right?) I'm trying to check out new places, with new people, and have a good time! Always down to go get a beer, watch some sports at the bar, eat some amazing local food, or anything else.

I consider myself to be a pretty chill, laid-back, easy-going guy, but, can also shotgun a beer, or 3, and go hard with the rest of them. Life is too short to not be trying to go on new adventures, and have new experiences. I enjoy being outside in Mother Nature, as much checking out some amazing urban art the city might have to offer.

As a guest, I would probably never be inside, as I'd be out exploring whatever the city has to offer me. This is my first step in traveling the world, meeting new people, and eventually, hopefully, hosting guests in the near future!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have heard so many awesome and amazing stories from friends who have used Couchsurfing before, and I decided that its time to jump on! I wanna travel more, experience new places, and take in as much as I can, and figured this would be a good way to do that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rode on a roller-coaster next to Shaq as a kid at a charity event he held. My dude was tight. Also, went down to Costa Rica on a 9-Day trip, and skinny-dipped at the base of a waterfall.

Good energy, a big smile, and hopefully we can share some great memories together.
