I'm a creative person with a lot of energy and good will toward people who enjoy cultural experiences, and come with respect and genuine interests.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have had so many great experiences hosting travelers from countries such as Mexico, Switzerland, Australia, and Spain. I think its a great way to get to know others and learn more about a culture whilst saving cash and instead spending it on food, drinks, and culture!

Interests

I love music, design, architecture, surfing, camping, soccer, water polo, and shopping for books, magazines, and vinyl records!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I DJ'd in front of 10,000+ people opening for Shakira in L.A.

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyone should learn to learn. I think learning is a meta-skill and should be on the minds of anyone who hopes to function in this economy. That said, I love technology, design, entrepreneurship, behavioral economics, history, and ethnography.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, music, wine and good times. I can also help you with anything having to do with design strategy, business strategy, and starting and sustaining nonprofit ventures especially.
