About Me

Living in Los Angeles! I love travel and trying new types of food. I love conversing with people and learning their story! I enjoy a spontaneous style when traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Just left my job building spaceships and have 2 weeks off to Travel. I'd love to meet interesting people and see their secret spots and favorite places in their cities through their eyes and make new friends!

Interests

I enjoy bicycle riding and walking through new places! People watching in cafes and getting out into nature. I enjoy rock climbing and slacklining, but I am pretty amateur at both.

Music, Movies, and Books

I just finished The Idea Factory, it was about the Bell Laboratories, the people who made it, and the amazing discoveries made there! It was great.

Skunkworks, Catch-22, Capital in the 21st century, Road to Serfdom, Darkness at Noon, Nicomachean Ethic.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I picked up some hitchhikers on my last day of traveling in Hawaii, and they ended up becoming friends by the end of the drive. Along with their friends we snucking onto a secret beach under the light of the moon and spent the night fire spinning, listening to music, dancing, and sitting around a camp fire telling stories. It was one of my favorite memories and shows what can happen when you open yourself up to strangers! Here's to meeting more wonderful people!
