I love exploring new places and meeting new people and have travelled to twenty plus countries and lived in a few. I've been married for almost eight years already to my lovely wife, Elizabeth. We live in Los Angeles and have each done a variety of different jobs since moving to CA in 2010 including nannying, working for a non-profit that does reforestation lesser developed countries, crew member at Trader Joe's to name a few.

We are very friendly people and make excellent guests as we're extremely considerate and adapt to new situations without any difficulty. Hope to stay with you sometime!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

LOVE to meet new people, go new places, and wanna meet someone who lives in the area I'm visiting and avoid hotels as they're kinda bla and don't really do much for me.

Interests

Thai, Indian, Tibetan, Ethiopian, Mexican food and more! Also, like to eat clean and healthy.
Love to play around on the guitar and ukelele as well as hang out with people and have good conversation over a meal.
Of course, going on road-trips, camping, biking, swimming, reading, watching documentaries are also favorites.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm never good at these questions. I have a wide variety of interests. I love folksy music the most, lots of classical, bits of country, almost anything with good acoustic guitar

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My dad and I had a private meeting with the former prime minister of Ethiopia

Teach, Learn, Share

Love to learn, share generously, teach what I know

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a great listener, have had lots of unique experiences, and I have a positive attitude...I'm sure there's more but that's what's coming to mind at the moment.
