About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Chasing the Northern Lights in Scandinavia!

ABOUT ME

I try to live my life as if I am the protagonist of some great epic novel. The ending is predetermined so I must cram as much into my short time as possible. My only wish is that my life story turns to be a page-turner!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Above all, to meet great people! I love being introduced to a place from a local's point of view and enjoy taking the road less traveled. Pretty happy slumming it while backpacking, especially if it means my adventure will last longer!

Interests

I pretty much eat, sleep, and breath photography and filmmaking. I absolutely love it and it is currently my greatest passion (along with travel of course!) I am also a bit of an adrenaline junky. I enjoy jumping out of airplanes, riding motorcycles, wake-boarding, rooftopping, traveling, and just having fun.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love Music, don't watch TV, enjoy well-made Movies, and couldn't live without Books. I enjoy reading books on business, marketing, and entrepreneurialism. If there's one book thats had the biggest impact on my life, it's "The 4-Hour Workweek" by Tim Ferriss. This book completely changed my outlook on income and helped spark my wanderlust! I can't recommend it enough!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Was only a few meters away from Kim Jong Un (the North Korean Dictator). That was pretty crazy! I've also been evacuated by helicopter from Mt. Everest, and was almost trampled by a bull in Spain. (My adventures can get a little out of hand...)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've been traveling the world for the past two years photographing and documenting it's beauty. I've picked up quite a few tips and tricks along the way and would be delighted to share them with you and help you improve your photography!
