About Me

Hi everyone! I'm from a suburb of Los Angeles, CA. I'm a middle child (older brother, younger sister), am extremely active and love being outdoors. I play lots of soccer, snowboard often, practice yoga, hike, waterski, scuba dive, rock climb, and anything else I have the opportunity to do. I'm an extrovert and very social. I love meeting, getting to know, spending time with and learning from people.

I am a sometimes marketer, a passionate creative writer, and an aspiring entrepreneur. I'm an explorer. And I'm Me :)

I'm absolutely obsessed with music. I listen to lots of music across all genres and especially like genre blends and music with good and meaningful lyrics. I play guitar as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Recently returned from a 6-month journey through South America to broaden my horizons and grow as a person. It was incredible! I've had really great, authentic experiences with Couchsurfers, at home and abroad. Whether sharing lodging or not, this is truly an amazing network of positive people looking to share experiences.
