I'm an LA native and work in live music. I love my job and hope to do it elsewhere in the world. Let's go to a show together!

Walking is my favorite source of transportation (perhaps the only person that walks in LA), and feel like I get to see a lot more because of it. I like exploring new bars, trying out new restaurants, sitting in cafes people-watching, reading, playing records, cooking, hiking, being out in nature, petting dogs, and meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Lived in LA most of my life and am scoping out new cities to live in. I haven't lived outside of California and haven't travelled nearly as much as I've wanted to. I'm doing my best to change that. I'm new to this : )

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once told Henry Rollins to hurry up and he listened.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you all about music I like, and even music I don't like.

I'm always looking to learn about someone else's experience. Empathy and understanding are my main objectives.

Happy to share my perspective. I have some funny stories about growing up in Hollywood.

What I Can Share with Hosts

What comes to mind first is good conversation. What comes second is sharing a drink (or tea, or coffee, if alcohol is not for you), preferably with said good conversation. I'll give you my best recommendations of things to do in my hometown. I'll be happy to share music I love, that you might not know about yet. After a few glasses of wine I might even sing for you.

Otherwise, I find joy in contributing to any household I might be a part of, and yours will be no exception.

Countries I’ve Lived In
