I'm a writer based out of Los Angeles. I've spent some time in France and elsewhere abroad, with many more adventures exploring the world to come. I'm very active, have a husky and a cat, and love a good beer, music, reading, collecting records and chatting about life and literature. I've done improv, been on tour with famous 80s hair metal bands, gone skydiving, jumped into a river full of snakes and much more - I'm always up for an interesting experience. I'm in the process of fleshing out a novella and a website dedicated to curiosities and enthralling stories throughout history. I love history, storytelling and thinking about everything from the remarkable to the mundane.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always want to learn more about the cultures and countries I'm visiting, as well as make new friends. I spend plenty of time exploring on my own, but would love another traveler or a local's perspective, too! I'm hoping Couchsurfing will help me seek out some wonderful new companions. While I'm home in LA, I'd love to meet travelers who are passing through and looking to swap stories and have a drink or explore.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to classical music every single day. I also love Queen, Jacques Dutronc, psychedelia, folk, Sam Cooke, and much more! I could gab about a lot of different genres.

There are too many. A few include: The Sea Wolf, Oil!, The Short Stories of F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Three Musketeers, Billions and Billions, Amerika, Welcome to the Monkeyhouse, No Exit, As I Lay Dying, The Fountainhead, The Picture of Dorian Gray...

Movies - Tombstone, Chocolat, Hot Fuzz, Barry Lyndon, Harry Potter. Many more. I invite any cinephiles to please share their favorites with me, as this is an area where I'd love to grow.

Television - Doctor Who

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I quit my five-year job as a copywriter at a clothing company and started freelancing in order to travel the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am TEFL certified and love to language exchange. I'm a voracious learner, always seeking new things out, and am in turn a wealth of knowledge in a host of different things, from the trivial to the more profound.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great conversation, company, and courtesy. Plus English tutoring!
