A southern California native from the Los Angeles area, I enjoy traveling more than anything.
When I am at home, I like to read and learn, be outdoors at the beach or in the mountains, work out, hang with friends, meet new people, practice language exchange, and spend time with my family and dog.

I have a goal to become fluent in Spanish & Portuguese so recently I've been traveling to many Central/South American countries to practice in immersion with locals or other travelers

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to meet people when I am traveling (or host/show travelers LA when I am home), and hopefully share a bit of my world while learning more about other beautiful cultures!
In the short time I have been using this site, I’ve found meeting with other travelers and sharing perspectives, advice, or even a simple drink and a laugh can be some of the most rewarding experiences in life. And I want to share these experiences with everyone
