CURRENT MISSION

Meet people in Europe and experience the incredible cultures that it has to offer.

ABOUT ME

• I'm a very easy going person and am always wanting to meet new people. I am always down to do whatever - whether that's just staying in for the night, going out for a few drinks, or doing something completely new.

• I am a documentary filmmaker/videographer, however I'm not one of those people who has a camera out 24/7!

• I love playing and talking about football/futebol/soccer, I was a soccer player at my University in the United States and also have spent time playing overseas such as in Brazil (w/ Fluminense) and Holland.

• I have lived in Spokane, WA, USA (hometown!) - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (World Cup 2014 was the greatest thing I've ever experienced), - and most recently New York City, USA studying/working in documentary filmmaking.

PHILOSOPHY

• Not sure what I want to say haha, but I wrote a book on this on this type of thing if you want to see! www.amazon.com/dp/B00MY49O70.
