Hey!

I'm currently travelling in Mexico with a friend. I'm a documentary filmmaker and passionate photographer.

We're keen to find great local food and drink spots.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've had such great couchsurfing experiences in the past. I love staying with locals along the way to soak up as much of the local culture as possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have only surfed, staying for 2 nights in Philadelphia with a great guy called Scott. Then again for 2 nights in Atlanta with Lizzie who truly showed us the American university lifestyle!

3 years later my friend and I surfed in Detroit and Toronto. Again, both experiences were highlights of our trips.

In Russia, I couchsurfed whilst working in Russia for 5 weeks during the World Cup.

Most recently, I have couchsurfed in Japan, which is unforgettable!

Interests

I produce short documentaries about football / sport and the power it can have on people's lives. I also have a great passion for music, mostly indie and hip-hop and most summers attend festivals in England. I love meeting new people and finding out about them and their country.
