Hello! I’m a rollerskater, student, and traveler currently based in the greater Los Angeles area, transplanted from Massachusetts. I go back and forth often between the two coasts for work/play/family and love to meet new people and explore cool places. I used to work as a mail carrier for the USPS in Massachusetts and currently I work as a background actor and production assistant and also at a pop up roller rink in Southern California teaching people of all ages to skate and spread joy. I also watch and care for pets, farm animals, and houses.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This site is so much more than a hostel or hotel, I want to grow as a person and learn more about coexisting on this planet and how people and animals from around the world play, share, have fun, and learn. I want to learn about different cultures, try new experiences, make new friends, meet cool dogs, and become the best version of myself. I’m interested in advancing my gymnastics/yoga/tumbling/rock climbing skills and becoming stronger

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach roller skating to beginners and would love to learn about what sports/activities/hobbies you like to do! I’m pretty eclectic and would love to talk about books/movies/music/art. I like to stay organized and clean and will do the dishes or help with whatever you need. I also walk dogs and house sit using the Rover app and can be trusted with all sorts of animals

What I Can Share with Hosts

Lots of traveling stories, enthusiasm/positivity/life stoke, rollerskating tips and tricks, recommendations of cool and unique experiences in California
