We've been living in Southern California for about five years and have a little black chihuahua named Onyx. We're originally from Manhattan, New York (born and raised) and moved here so that I, Jasmin, can pursue my acting career.
We're located in Van Nuys which is in the Valley and about a 20 minute drive from Hollywood, the beach and pretty much anywhere in L.A.
One of my goals for 2015 was to travel which has not happened yet but we hope to visit Europe in the summer.
We're a social couple who enjoy laughing, drinking beer and wine, eating, going camping and playing board games among other things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

umm...

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to learn Italian and French! Also, the guitar would be nice.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a decent cook and can share my cooking skills by whipping up some yummy dishes. I also enjoy speaking with a Jamaican accent and can offer that after a few glasses of wine.
Derek is a great conversationalist, music enthusiast and animal lover. He can offer his fascination with gangs and burgers.
