About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I've been in the education field all my life …. and I believe true education comes in 3 different forms ……
1.) Reading
2.) Travel
3.) Schools and Universities
……. in that specific order. 👍
Therefore ….. If I can help in educating you through the aspects of travel 🧳 ….. then I’m looking forward to assisting you, with providing you a comfortable couch to rest your body at night, so you can explore the sites and scenery of the great city of Los Angeles during the day.

ABOUT ME

Principled, Honest, Staightforward, Generous.
