ABOUT ME

I live in Venice Beach, CA and I'm looking forward to meeting any wanderlust stricken traveler that might be passing through the southern cali area.
Help me see this city through your eyes!

Now time for bio:
I washed up on the shores of Santa Barbara, California a sandy, barnacle encrusted pile of flesh and blue eyes. Vulnerable, exposed, I would have easily been made a sea lion snack had a local family not found me on the beach and taken me in to their home. They fed me, taught me their language, their customs, gradually acclimating me to their society. From then on its been an uphill battle attempting to understand these people. At some point I ended up in Los Angeles, probably an attempt to speed up the acclimation process.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a hoster and a surfer! I haven't hosted very many people but when I do its always a positive experience!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I did a 3 week tour of Europe in 2009 that would not, I repeat, would NOT have been possible without this website and the wonderful people who use it. Couchsurfing embodies a way of life that I wish we would all embolden.
