Message me first. Don’t request me first. Some days I can host and some I can’t. But if you request the whole time it will say I’m not available at all. Which isn’t true.

I’m back on cs after 6 years off to raise a son. I’ve hosted well over 400 travelers over the years (back in NYC for 3 years I asked for no references because of my building management). I started hosting 2011 in NYC where I was one of the first and more popular Manhattan hosts. If you can imagine 400+ travelers coming and going, you can imagine the stories and experiences and fun I have had. I am very open minded and have experienced a lot of fun and adventure from this site. I’ve also traveled the world meeting my ex surfers which was always fun.

I’ve owned a bar / music venue in Nashville, written some songs and I love live music. I’ve also have done real estate, and now I work for myself so my hours are flexible.

Almost all my photos are from when I hosted in NYC. I keep them here for my memories. I do not party as much as it seems in these photos (although I am not against it, I just don't in LA as much).

I live literally at the beach, so if you like the beach that is where I live. I’m also about a mile and half to LAX airport as well and if possible will get you and take you there.

Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Venice Beach and Santa Monica Beach are very close and I can bike there with you. I also like to hike the Hollywood sign and universal studios.

I am open to hosting someone that is low key, or someone that wants to let loose a bit and get wild. I have done and seen it all (many times). Since I used to be a big partier i am ok if you are, but I'm also super chill and low key. Come to do your thing, or come to hang with me. I’m down for either. I work from home and I do wake up early. If I have time I will hang with my surfers but the bus is 30 seconds from me and takes you to Santa monica and Culver City and from there you can get anywhere.

My town is a small beach town in Los Angeles. it has a few bars, coffee shops, some restaurants and is great to walk on the beach.

I live alone in a 3 bedroom. I used to have a dog but he passed. If you have a quiet dog I’m ok with that. I have a back yard.

I am easy going and chatty. I can talk for hours about life experiences and can probably write a few books on it.

Just looking for an easy going, respectful guest. Nothing too complicated.

Recently got the universal studios annual pass so if you want to go and have a pass or ticket I would be down to go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the interaction of connecting with travelers. I prefer to only host travelers who are visiting LA or someone that at least wants to chat and hang out a little bit. Not someone that uses the bedroom closes the door and we never talk nor see each other, in that case- get an airbnb or something (or I will take donations, lol).
Since I love to travel, and have been all over, having travelers come to me makes me feel like I am on vacation,
I love giving back to people as I can provide a nice safe pace for someone to stay and enjoy.

Interests

I like going out,shooting pool, late night walks on the beach. Massages, bonfires, like warm weather over cold weather though. I like exploring, traveling, creating experiences and making memories. I write have written lyrics/songs in Nashville where I lived for 5 years. I've also lived in Denver.
