CURRENT MISSION

Exploring the World from My Doorstep

ABOUT ME

Recently moved to LA after 2 years of travel. I'm getting to know this fascinating mega-city through its diverse neighborhoods and cultures. I work downtown and live near Griffith Park. Enjoy exploring on foot, bike or public transport.

PHILOSOPHY

I live for the present with an understanding of the past and a vision for the future. I care deeply about sense of place and most enjoy travelling to places that are "authentic" and have maintained their history and culture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm an active traveller, interested in getting to know a local place and its people. I've particapted in international hostelling exchanges and enjoy the hostelling atmosphere and mission. Couch surfing is another good way to meet people and share stories and cultures. I have a very small studio, so it might be hard to host an overnight guest. But, I am interested in meeting-up and taking in the sights.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed with friends who are on couch-surfing in the US. I've backpacked solo and mostly stay at hostels. Looking to add more couch-surfing to my international travels.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy non-fiction and fiction. I love learning about new things! I like indie / rock music, but will attend almost any type of performance. There are many great performance venues in LA.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I loved hiking at Torres de Paine in Chile recently! Explored an incredible landscape with a great group of travellers!
