I'm an easygoing, lighthearted, open-minded type of guy. I'm a self-proclaimed artist, cinephile, music lover, and nature enthusiast. I enjoy good conversations, tasty foods, craft beers, live music, dancing, and cute animals. I have a cat named Kiki, and she's awesome!

I'm currently in the process of trying to follow my dreams essentially. I've spent the last 5 years trying to get a master's degree in something that I realized I wasn't even that interested in. So I'm finally looking inward and discovering where my true passions lie. I want to create beautiful things, whether it's a painting, a photograph or a film. The act of creating and creativity is where my true passions lie.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because I love traveling and meeting new people. I've met some awesome hosts and have had some great experiences couchsurfing in the past. I think it's a great and different way to experience a city when you're traveling, because you'll be staying with a local and get a chance to see how they live. As compared to staying in an airbnb, where you have no interaction with your host, and kinda feel like just a tourist. I enjoy connecting with people and sharing experiences, and I think couchsurfing is a great opportunity for that.

Interests

I find all forms of creative expression fascinating. Sometimes I enjoy simply observing some form of creative expression, other times I enjoy doing something creative myself. Sometimes I dance, other times I create art.
