I love meeting new people and learning through their experiences. I'm a lover of people who challenge themselves to learn and grow. Traveling is close to my heart and when I travel I want to see the real city and the real heart of the places I visit. It's always in the people.

As far as hosting, if you need a place to crash, shower, and brush your teeth, that's totally cool. If I can I'll host you. If you are interested in making a new friend and seeing OC with a local I'm totally down for that too.

About my home: I currently live in South Coast Metro next to bougie ass shopping and food places. Delicious food trucks and $2 taco stands are just a few blocks away however. I'm about 15 minutes from the beach, hiking, and surfing. I take my surfers to literally surf if they crash here on a weekend. My home is 20 minutes to Laguna Beach (local art and low key relaxing vibe) or Anaheim/Santa Ana (night life, Disney, indie music scene), 10 minutes to Huntington Beach, 45 minutes to LA or 1 hour to San Diego. The complex has resort style Jacuzzi and swimming pool, along with a gym, yoga and dance studios that all surfers have access to. I love to cook so you'll get at least one home cooked meal, usually dinner but sometimes breakfast. If you are here on the weekend I will cook breakfast and dinner.

I recently moved and am cycling in furniture so surfers have been crashing on sleeping bags and sleeping mats or sharing the bed. I should be getting a couch Dec '18 though and eventually that will be an option.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel, have couchsurfed sans app, and love meeting new people, shooting a documentary next year that will give me a lot of freedom to travel and I want to network for when the time comes. I'm planning a lot of traveling second half of 2019.
