About Me

Hello world travelers, I'm quite busy with life right now so I'm afraid I can't host currently. If you have any questions or need recommendations, feel free to ask. I've lived here my whole life and would love to help!

CURRENT MISSION

Establish myself and grow while finishing university.

ABOUT ME

I am fun-loving, but very caring and warm. In general I'm pretty laid back, but I love to have adventures and explore new things. I consider myself somewhat counter-cultural to my city, but I love it very much.

Currently I am working and going to school to get my degree, but hopefully I can afford to travel again sometime in the near future.

*TRAVELERS READ HERE: Right now I'm pretty busy, so it's difficult for me to commit to hosting. However, I may have an open weekend, or not-so-busy few days here and there, so a last minute request or message would be your best bet if you need an emergency place to crash! Also, I've lived here in Los Angeles my whole life, so feel free to message me if your have questions or anything.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to formulate my own ideas rather than formulating my opinions based on others. I believe that trying to contribute something to the world around you, being honest and compassionate to others will ultimately make you happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I've met very nice people, and when I can I will host some as well. I often let friends in need stay on my couch, and I think Couchsurfers will find that I keep a very easy and welcoming environment!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I traveled to Europe and couchsurfed almost exclusively. It was a great experience, everyone was super nice, and I wouldn't have done it any other way. I don't a super accommodating space, but I'd like to give back and host some more people here in Los Angeles.

Interests

I love music and dancing. I make music on my own, dj, and I'm going to school for electrical engineering to build musical equipment. I love bicycling, this is a great city for it, even if most people don't accept that yet. I like to cook, though I'm not great at it and I love trying new beers.

Music, Movies, and Books

I really appreciate movies and books that make me think, make me laugh, surprise me, or teach me something. I love house music, but I can enjoy almost all music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing things? Walking across land bridges over pink sea foam in Mendocino was awesome. Such a beautiful place. Exploring an abandoned hospital, climbing up to the roof of the tower, then being chased out by men with machetes. Whenever I'm traveling I just get an amazing feeling of freedom. Also, the Burning Man festival was a pretty awesome experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to teach people whatever I can. I wouldn't say I'm an expert, but I can definitely teach people about music, DJing, or my city. I can also fix your bike.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Whatever you need.
