I grew up in a small town in South Carolina, but my dad has to travel a lot for work so I caught the travel bug at a young age. I love exploring new places and learning their histories. I like to go to the tourist spots when I travel but I especially like meeting locals and finding a city's hidden gems. Right now I'm living in Los Angeles, working on films and tv shows.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to experience places in a way that I wouldn't get to just staying in a hotel. I love meeting new people and I want to see the world, this seems like a great way to do it!
