I'm on this site because I think it's so amazing to be able to connect with people who are so open, inviting, and want the connection. It's a thrilling opportunity to be able to be part of a stranger's life for awhile, to glimpse a life-in-the-day and see their city from their own eyes. I feel blessed to live in an age where this is made so easy and accessible. And I really hope that in my coming years I am able to return the wonderful karma I have received as a surfer and revisit this site as a host.

I will listen to/watch/read almost anything. Absolute favorites: Music- Portugal. The Man, Glass Animals, Alt-J, ADELE, Linkin Park (RIP CB), Felix Laband, Glen Hansard, Sia Movies- Safety Not Guaranteed, Princess Bride, Harry Potter!, The Hedgehog, The Croods, The Emperor's New Groove, Gladiator Books- The Alchemist, Siddartha, Harry Potter!, The Elegance of the Hedgehog, Call of the Wild, 1984, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck
