CURRENT MISSION

Exploration, learning, fun, making friends

ABOUT ME

I love new experiences and to learn as much as possible, regardless of the usefulness of what is learned. I write and perform comedy in Los Angeles. I also have worked in the legal field for several years. I love living in L.A., which is loaded with live entertainment to suit any taste, beautiful beaches and hiking trails. I have lived here over 10 years and am eager to show people what is enjoyable about this city.

PHILOSOPHY

Give, and it will come back to you. Enjoy life. Follow through on your word. Don't waste time on things you don't enjoy or don't have to do. Also, don't waste time being frustrated over what you cannot change.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I enjoy surfing on other people's couches and have finally hosted my first guest (hosting is not always an option for me). Even if I can't host you, I look forward to having a coffee with people who want to enjoy Los Angeles and help them see it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed with Couchsurfing.com hosts in Puerto Rico and Portland, OR. Outside of the site, I have driven across the US several times, staying with friends and relatives. I have spent months, collectively, on friends' couches in NYC and San Francisco, and even done a little couch surfing in Japan and Zimbabwe. Personal companionship trumps a little physical discomfort for me most times.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I ran into my brother on a street corner in Bangkok. The thing is, neither of us knew the other would be in that part of the world at that time.

教，学，和分享

Yoga and meditation are two things I have explored a bit, and would like to delve more deeply into.
I can teach you what Smurfs are called in about a dozen languages, African history (my degree), and tell you about the strange world of Hollywood, as seen from the semi-fringe.
