I'm passionate about being the change I want to see in the world. Volunteering and being active in my community as my time allows. I used to write short autobiographical humor essays and I’m trying to get back into that!

ABOUT ME

I'm liberal, LGBTQIA friendly, 420 friendly, warm, and funny and like to meet new people and travel. I work as a labor rights advocate, am very value oriented, and love making new friends.

PHILOSOPHY

Be compassionate

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Able to host in LA but looking for a place to crash in October in Budapest!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I think Couchsurfing is an incredible concept and I’ve been fortunate to stay with some great folks and meet people who are looking for a friendly warm place in LA. I live in Highland Park in Los Angeles which is a very cool walkable neighborhood with many bars, cafes, restaurants and concerts that I’d be happy to share with someone.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like punk music, music from the 90's, pop rock, and indie rock. Whenever I travel I always try and go to a live music show, so if you know of one I would love to know about it!
I also love going to the movies and watching movies.

Some of my favorite directors:
Almodovar, David Lynch, Ingmar Bergman, Goddard
Some of my favorite bands:
Guided by Voices, The Marked Men, Smoking Popes, The Queers

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Feed monkeys, manatees, and crocodiles in Palenque, Chiapas, Mexico.

Teach, Learn, Share

I really like doing movie and music exchanges to learn more about both and to share what I think others might like.
