Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd like to host when I can or meet up with travelers in town who want to experience some of the local spots. I'd also like to stay with hosts

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had a great first CS experience in NYC. Stayed with two different hosts and met up with some traveling CSers. Went back a year later and stayed with the same hosts. Even a few years later I've gotten a chance to host some of my friends from NY that I stayed with and we still keep in touch. Everyone I've met through CS has been awesome.

Interests

I work at a shop that sells bicycles and craft coffee. It falls right in line with my favorite things. I commute by bike in LA most days and frequently take my adventures outside the city to the nature surrounding it. Probably not the guy to take you clubbing but I can point you to the best local breweries and spots to eat.

If you came to LA in March expecting the ocean to be warm...it probably wont be but I'll still jump in with you.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach practical self defense, share tips for flexibility and overall organic functioning. I'm pretty good at finding creative solutions to problems. I can fix your bike and teach you how you can fix it. I travel to be humbled.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can fix your bike, I make a mean breakfast burrito, I travel light and clean, and I'm excited for all kinds of adventures.
