Hi, I'm a Los Angeles native who does a handful of things and likes to stay busy. I'm a sign painter as well as a writer/journalist. I very mindful of other people's spaces and I travel very lightly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm couchsurfing because I like meeting new people and seeing a side of the world outside of commercialized tourism.
