Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of meeting people and couch surfing seems like a more organic way to build relationships while traveling.

Interests

I love documenting the world and presenting it to people in ways they would not choose to see it. The intent is always empathy or understanding. Whether that is just for someone to understand the way I see things, or to show people about something that is happening.
I also love skateboarding, it's been a relatively recent addiction.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music. It is my drug. I will pretty much appreciate every form of music but love music where I can feel the soul of the artist.

Movies: Kingdom of Heaven, Secret life of Walter Mitty, Garden State, 500 days of Summer, Grand Budapest Hotel, Donnie Darko and a slurry of other movies.

Books: fahrenheit 451, It's What I do- A memoir of a photojournalist, photobooks of all sorts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I flew to and from Nepal on my own at the age of 16.

The general human experience is pretty amazing. I prefer the meaning behind the simple instead of the grandeur.
