CURRENT MISSION

I suppose, if anything, you could say I'd like to eat my way around the world, one delicious bite at a time.

ABOUT ME

I'm from a little town called Los Angeles; I travel for the food and the people.

PHILOSOPHY

It speaks volumes of a person if they're willing to try any new food at least once.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because if you stay in hostels with other foreigners, you'll never learn anything about your destination. I'll leave the sightseeing to the people who like to wear sandals with socks.

Interests

All things active and artisan. Jack of all trades, master of none.

• dining
• cooking
• beer
• traveling
• sightseeing

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: The ones that make you think, like Rocky IV.
Books: I was a Literature major so I've read a few books, but I detest literary pretension.
Music: The kind that makes you want to shake what your mama gave ya.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Afghanistan on vacation. Isn't that AMAZING??

Teach, Learn, Share

I have taught English to native and non-native speakers, and I taught my old roommate how to brew beer.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good stories that only an ex-flight attendant can tell, and I cook!
