I am the creator and director of The Important Project. We travel around the world to meet as many people as possible, interview them about what's important in their lives, and take their portraits. We share these stories on our social media platforms, and are currently working on a documentary as well as a book series in order to distribute these wonderful stories to as many people as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet people looking to get involved in our project, spread as much love as is humanly possible, and of course to avoid sleeping on the streets!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bernie Sanders pulled me into a giant bear hug after I gave him our book and told him about my work, I think that qualifies as pretty amazing!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a pretty solid cook and baker! I grew up eating delicious, traditional Filipino food and I would LOVE to share my cooking with you and your household.

I'm also a fairly adept musician and can fill your halls with gentle strumming and songs as well if that suits your fancy!

Also, as a professional photographer I am happy to provide high quality photographs of your space for showing on here or portraits of you and your family!
