CURRENT MISSION

I'm going on an adventure to Europe: Paris, Berlin, Milan, and Barcelona!

ABOUT ME

I'm an easygoing social person who's always trying to enjoy the little things and I laugh at my own jokes harder than anyone else. I'm so busy all the time with work and school, but I always remind myself that I have to stop and enjoy the days as they go by. I'm going on a trip to Europe this Summer and I'm looking for a friendly couch to crash on and friendly people to meet and explore Paris, Berlin, and Milan with. I'm very respectful, I promise, and responsible. I plan on haveing as many adventures as possible with people while I'm in Europe. Along the way, I'm going to follow an awesome touring art show called "Our Mountain" featuring art by Steven Harrington. Aside from going to the art show I want to check out the cities (not the tourist attractions except for maybe the Louvre) and hang out with the locals. I'm really excited to meet new people on my journey and I'm also on a hunt for incredible food and BEER in every place I travel to.

PHILOSOPHY

All times should be good times. Ataraxia (peace of mind) and Epicureanism (keep your desires natural & simple and they will always be fulfilled).

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'll participate by letting fellow travelers crash on my couch in Los Angeles! Not sure why they'd want to come here, but they're welcome to! I want to pitch in any way I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed with lots of random people when I took a solo trip all over northern Spain and Portugal. It was amazing. The people and the countryside were amazing. Nothing but awesome memories.

Intereses

the cosmic universe, surfing waves, swimming in the ocean, riding bikes in the city and out of the city, hiking mountains, snowboarding, painting, drawing small drawings, make movies, reading books in bed, eating paella and drinking sangria on the hottest day of the year, making tapas and drinking more sangria in the yard, BBQing food outside, falling asleep in the shade, going somewhere that I've never been, talking to strangers for hours and becoming good friends by the end of a conversation, learning languages, walking from one side of a city to the other, and pretty much anything else you can do outside.
