Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I've had lots of great experiences as both a host, a guest, and even just meeting up with other Couchsurfers in the various places I've lived in -- LA, Baltimore, Liège (Belgium), and Edinburgh -- and travelled through. I've met many amazing hosts and fellow travelers that have changed my outlook on life for the better, and would love to meet more people and get to know their stories.

Teach, Learn, Share
I've lived in southern California for more than nine years now, and would be more than happy to show you around! I love the state for its sunshine, people, and sheer beauty. I have a long list of places I still want to go to before I graduate, so let’s go have an adventure together! I'd also love to hear about your experiences traveling since I'm always hoping to grow in unexpected ways. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
What I Can Share With Hosts
An open heart to listen, enthusiasm to join you on your wildest plans, and jam sessions or good chess games (if that’s your speed)
