CURRENT MISSION

"Your life is yours to create..."

Couch surfers listen - I have been receiving far more requests than I can accommodate and most have been users just spamming everyone in LA for a free couch... If you want to stay with me you are more than welcome! Just please include my name and a link to your favorite song on YouTube or somewhere else online so I know you are not a spammer and actually think I am the right person you should stay with.

I have received much generosity over the years in my gypsy esque travels and love giving back to other people from different cultures, but just want to be able to separate who is using this site properly and with integrity. That being said, if you include this info and I'm in town *I have to travel a lot for work...* I will hopefully write you back, offer you a place to stay, and probably extend the royal treatment - would love to share my extensive knowledge of my hometown with you. But if you don't include this info in your message I will probably never write you back and may report you as a spammer.

Full disclosure here now so no one gets upset later! That being said, please write me! Just do it respectfully :)

ABOUT ME

I'm native to Los Angeles, but I take every opportunity possible to get out of the city though. I've lived and worked in various parts of Asia and have traveled to over 30 countries throughout Asia, North and South America, and Europe.

I am a entrepreneur and moonlight as a photographer, fire spinner, and poet. I travel far and often, will eat almost anything, and often skip the small talk for deeper conversations.

PHILOSOPHY

Remember the past, prepare for the future, live in the moment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm all over the place, but always willing to meet up and show you around La! If I'm there...

I have a 5 bedroom house I live in by myself (no roomates yet). Message me if you want to stay and maybe we can work something out. If not, drinks are in order at least! I love showing people around my hometown. This is a tough place to visit without the guidance of a local.
