I'm a returning student, and I also work two jobs with some gigs on the side. I have two awesome cats. People are amazing; I love to learn more about individuals, and practice the art of conversation! In fact, used to hold a salon!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I recently purchased a car, and parking in my neighborhood isn't realistic. I don't want to sign a lease until I know where I'll be attending school this fall. If people don't mind my odd hours and somewhat less odd cats, I'd be very grateful for a place to stay. In exchange, I can offer childcare, housekeeping, house sitting, pet sitting, reading/writing tutoring, the whole shebang!

Interests

If you're interested in attending events around LA, I tend to be somewhat "in the know." :) Let's go out and have some fun!

• writing
• fashion
• reading
• current events

Music, Movies, and Books

Book: The Picture of Dorian Gray, anything by Plato, Salinger, or Shakespeare, Hector and the Search for Happiness

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I helped pass the Violence Against Women Act with tribal mitigations, when it was heavily contested by Koch Oil.

Teach, Learn, Share

In terms of tutoring, I specialize in college entrance essays, ACT/SAT tutoring, reading/writing in general, and psychology. I usually charge a sizeable amount for my services, so hopefully putting me up will be mitigated by free services. :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm realizing that this is getting a bit repetitive, haha! Well, I'm an optimistic person. I also get along with people, including very shy individuals. I'm lucky-- they tend to be amazing people!
