CURRENT MISSION

I'm a photographer and filmmaker looking to make adventure my career.

ABOUT ME

Some call indecision a bad thing, I think it just makes you more open to different options. I don't know who or what I want to be yet, but I'm loving the adventure it's taking to get there. I love the company of others and to experience new things.
Photography/video/guitar/biking are my biggest hobbies.

PHILOSOPHY

Try to enjoy the moment and appreciate the people and things you have around you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am currently living in a shared flat in Madrid, Spain with 3 Spanish college students. Unfortunately we cannot host anyone in our current building, but I would like to make myself available to any visitors looking to grab a drink or see the city with someone who lives here. I know these are the people that have always made my experiences traveling 10 times better

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to couch surfing and have only done it once but had an amazing time.

Interests

Photography, film, and music dominate this category. I like to learn about new bands and visit shows with small groups of friends. I bring my camera with me everywhere and I am always looking for that moment to snap that perfect photo. I am recently getting more and more interested in Hiking and mountain biking. Outdoor trekking has always been a bit difficult considering I've lived in Chicago, a relatively uninteresting area geographically speaking, for the past few years. I love cycling, especially single-speed and fixed-gear bikes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
