CURRENT MISSION

recognition of cultural differences

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in sunny LA, I turned 21 in a different corner of California. The farther I get from California, the more I've come to value its uniqueness. I was in the outskirts of Japan where--according to a local junior high school--it snows for half the year. I enjoyed five years there and currently am back in LA.

PHILOSOPHY

No god, no problem.

No music, no life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

FORMER CS HOST:
While I lived in the countryside of Japan, I had the pleasure of hosting some unique people. Some were here for the snow sports, others for art or just traveling through and looking for a kindred spirit. Whatever the reason, I enjoyed the encounters with each surfer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I'm relatively introverted, and don't contact people out of the blue. Maybe joining the couchsurfing crew will change this. I'd like to do some funky adventuring while I'm out here on this tiny blue planet.
