CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Transient sums me up well enough, however I have found ways to feel permanence now that I have a home. I still pack light and my backpack is on speed dial. Fulfillment comes from home cooked food and carefully chosen matching socks. I have strong convictions and a healthy appetite. In LA, I love the culmination of many regional food and that is my specialty, finding little hole in the wall, mom and pop restaurants. Aside from that, I am extremely adventurous and intuitive.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short.
Laugh uncontrollably,
and never regret anything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted many people in my life from all walks of my life. Since joining CS, I have opened 3 different homes.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have meet wonderful people through couch surfing and I have enjoyed many of the people that have enjoyed my couches. I have surfed on only 1 couch so far.

All my personal friends think it is too weird to let people stay with me from all over the world, however they are always so interested in the people that come over.

It is a fishbowl syndrome, where my friends are afraid to open their house but want to know what it is like to meet interesting and well-traveled people.
