About Me

I grew up in beautiful Southern California. I was a total beach bum as a kid and not much has changed since. I mostly enjoy being outside. I like any kind of sport, being in the water, and hiking. While I have no dancing or singing ability (believe me when I say this), I highly enjoy both. I have a wondering imagination and often spend time day-dreaming about different worlds. I love telling and hearing stories. I got attacked by wasps as a kid and as a result my right ear is slightly longer than my left. I say "dude" a lot. I occasionally speak in a British accent and I had a taco for lunch today. I think that's about it for now. And yes, the taco was delicious.

PHILOSOPHY

Pshhh… I don’t know anything about anything. But I love my inner child that keeps the world a magical and wondrous place. While I fancy myself a mature adult (whatever the hell that means), I never want to be a "grown-up." I want to always live life with the spirit and imagination of a child. I will always see boa constrictors digesting elephants where others see hats.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

To learn to swim, my dad threw me into the deep end. This is how I am with many things in life. It is sink or swim and I choose to dive into things head first. Life is too short to dip your toes in!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch surfed several times in Europe, both with people and on my own. While I haven't had the chance to host anyone yet (kind of a travelling bum), I would love to!

Interests

Everything! I am interested in everything. I have an intense curiosity and want to either learn about, or experience it all. Like everyone on this site, travel is a big interest of mine.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love movies. I work at film festivals. I have way too many favorites to try and name them all. Music... everything. Books... well written and subversive.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being born was pretty amazing. It was cool when I learned to walk. Now that I mention it, the first time I spoke wasn't bad. My first word was Sayonara (it’s natural to be impressed).

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll teach you anything I know and you don't. I want to learn it all. And sharing is caring.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My delightful personality? Jk, it’s trash. But I can buy you drinks or dinner. I would offer to cook, but that would just be punishment for us all. Trust me. Or don’t… and die by food poisoning.
