Hi! My name is Andrew Rocha. I am 23 years old, a portrait photographer and avid traveler. I have always wanted to travel to places where things happen and where my heroes such as Madonna, Harvey Milk, Lucy Maud Montgomery, Anne Frank just to name a few have roamed to discover themselves or where they lived. I am a fun guy who can sing, dance, write ,take photos and loves to talk about life! I hope to learn a lot from couch surfing while traveling and look forward to meeting you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and have a warm place to stay and learn about new ideals.

Interests

I love music a lot. I have a pretty wide range of music I listen to. I also am quite the photographer so I could talk art for days. I also love queer films and collect a lot of historical, fictional and non fictional items involving the gay community. Being gay is a big deal to me because it was the first real thing I discovered about myself.
