ABOUT ME
I spent a year on the roads of USA a few years ago filming a documentary and loved the couch surfing experience along the way. I embrace traveling outside of tourism and will always defer to the local experience. There are so many worlds within this world to see!
I am a documentary filmmaker so that leads me to a lot of traveling and exploring of different people and their lifestyles. I love to learn about people and hear their stories and I have quite a few to tell myself.
I'm also a social activist and try to spread progressive messages about civil rights and environmentalism through my work. If you are also interested in these fronts we will probably have a lot to talk about.
PHILOSOPHY
It's all about the people you're with and how much you can fully experience whatever you're experiencing, right, NOW - preferable if you're having fun.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I've surfed a lot in the past few years and now that I've settled down in Echo Park, LA I'd love to chat with you about my city or any cities in the USA and hopefully we can do the same in your neck of the woods.
