CURRENT MISSION

eat, drink, and dance

ABOUT ME

i dance until i'm drenched in sweat. i love to eat. eat. eat. i like wine (prefer red, but white is good), whiskey (jameson!) and beer (super bock stout beer!). i'm into the arts--i love museums, strange and thought provoking films, modern literature. i tend to underestimate my complexity, but as i reflect on the things that i've done in my life, i realize it's been such a colorful journey. i like to test myself and push my limits in order to learn as much as i can about myself.

PHILOSOPHY

i try to treat new experiences like an anthropologist--somewhat removed, yet completely immersed, and intrigued by the things that i learn through observation and participation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

show people around LA. meet new people to have a drink or grab a bite to eat. i want to surf someone's couch for the first time!!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i've met some interesting people that have affected me in one way or another. whether or not i will ever meet them again is beyond me---but i am glad to have shared experiences with them and am happy to see how they have had some kind of impact on my life.

Interests

fine dining (although i do it rarely) but i'll settle for fast food sometimes. enjoying my solitude and being an observer. i enjoy writing. i appreciate art. i think fashion is fun. i love to dance. read books. go for jogs. stay active. sit and enjoy the sun. have philosophical conversations about life, love, and the pursuit of happiness.
