About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Having fun and protecting children and families.

ABOUT ME

I love to travel as well as explore everything Southern California has to offer. I do a lot of events on Meetup.com and also volunteer for organizations working with HIV survivors, children and abuse victims. I also moderate a subreddit for people looking to tour or move to LA.

I like to do more laid-back new stuff rather than club or go really wild. The funnest thing I have done recently is hiking up to some hotsprings in the desert with some random hippies.

PHILOSOPHY
Do good things and enjoy the process.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to invite people to events, offer advice, or just hang out. Can't have people where I live, sorry!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Through the website, no experience, but my favorite was showing up at my great grandpa's nephew's house in small town Greece with no notice and being welcomed with open arms, even though they don't speak English and I don't speak Greek.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled from Greece to England with no prior planning or tickets with a girl I just met.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a BA in History, and have taught English, Science, PE and Math. Want to learn a bunch of fun tag games? Or about some local history? Let me know.

I also have a bunch of experience with facilitating support groups, behavioral interventions and other mental health stuff if you want to learn about that too!

I love learning about new places, different ways of life, and people so hopefully you can teach me some stuff as well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Let me know what you need, I have a lot of varied experience and am good at jumping into stuff.

If you have a volunteer event and need a good hand, I'm your man. I can also share some beer and tell some stories, teach you about any of my experiences, or help out with some chores.

Countries I’ve Visited

England, France, Greece, Italy, Mexico
