CURRENT MISSION

live a life of quite awesomeness

ABOUT ME

The world is so wonderfully vast and wonderfully diverse. There's an adventure at every turn. That's what keeps me grounded.
I am a wandering, foolhardy filmmaker, traveling and looking for a place to settle. In the meantime I am enjoying the ride and all the great people I meet.

PHILOSOPHY

there is so much of the world to see, so many surprises. i try to stay open minded and not get bogged down by the negative stuff.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am looking to meet new people-- show them around and surf some couches all over the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted and surfed. It's a handy way to meet new people, with like-minded life philosophy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

the surprisingly surprising simple stuff:
My trip to El Salvador was...amazing. saw the sun peak through clouds and light up a patch of a lake and it looked like gold. it made everyone and everything stop.
trying (and failing) to learn how to windsurf during a rainstorm at a lake in Rhones Alpes, France.
