🏳️‍🌈🤓👨‍💻💪🏼💫🍜☕🧘‍♂️✈️🗺️💓
I am a friendly, outgoing, curious digital nomad from California. I love connecting with different kinds of people around the world. I am an eternal optimist and seek to build bridges between cultures and individuals. My purpose in life is to raise human consciousness through connection and dialogue.

I am open for house sitting and pet sitting opportunities around the world! I am employed in California so my only requirement is good internet. I have taken care of homes with dogs and cats in Los Angeles, Seattle, Liberia (Costa Rica), Montevideo and London. Please message me for references and my availability.

Travel is a the best education anyone can get. My favorite places include Los Angeles (home), Uruguay, Hawai'i, Seattle, Granada (Spain), Taipei and Rio. I have never traveled to any place I did not appreciate.

PHILOSOPHY

Respect your surroundings. Enjoy every moment. Be understanding. Cultivate empathy. Be creative and embrace failure. Be passionate about your craft and honest with yourself and others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've slept on lots of couches in lots of places and hosted over 150 people at my homes in Seattle, London, and Los Angeles. You can always expect me to prepare a meal (I love to cook) or help out around the house. I am very low-maintenance, chill (relaxed) and respectful. I love meeting new people who understand the spirit of the Couchsurfing community. It's not AirBnB, it's a cultural exchange.

First-time CSers should read this article by my CS friend Gigi to get some good ideas on how to be a good Couchsurfer: https://welovewanderlust.wordpress.com/2015/09/02/couchsurfing-how-to-be-a-good-host-and-a-good-guest/

Interests

I love to have thoughtful dialog with other interesting, creative, open-minded people.

Otherwise: music (electronic dance music), graffiti/modern art, photography, touring, broad conversations about local/global issues, the human condition, sustainability, cooking, science, architecture, yoga, history, entrepreneurship, languages and clean tech.

Music, Movies, and Books

European and American electro, house and techno.

Books: Non-fiction, philosophy: J. Krishnamurti is my biggest inspiration.

I love documentaries, suspenseful movies and silly animated television shows.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Maneuvered a 52-foot sailboat into the Columbia River Basin one foggy night.

Turbo-raving through Germany.

Hiking through Haleakala on Maui.

Roughing it on the Mekong Delta in Vietnam.

Fulfilling a childhood dream to visit Neuschwanstein in Bavaria.

Festivals. Costumes. Sensory Overload. BurningMan.

Living in Washington DC, Boston, London, Seattle and now Los Angeles...some of the greatest cities in the world!

Teach, Learn, Share

As a professional web designer with almost two decades of experience in the field, I can offer my knowledge of websites or assist in diagnosing computer issues. I'm also a RYT-200 certified yoga instructor specializing in Ashtanga-bases asana flow and Yin/Restoratives.

I learned Spanish by getting stuck in Uruguay over the pandemic and living there for 13 months. Uruguay nomaaaaa'!
