I grew up in Compton, Los Angeles and became a huge fan of the Lakers (tears of sadness/happiness for the near end of Kobe's career).

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I believe that people are naturally inclined to know and explore, meet and share, wonder and laugh. I also believe that everything happens for a reason and if two people meet at anytime in life and exchange a moment, incredible memories could be shared.
