About Me

Currently working my way through Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile & Argentina.

CURRENT MISSION

The only thing I've ever wanted to do w/ my life is to make beautiful things.

ABOUT ME

Creative. Passionate. Intense.

PHILOSOPHY

The older you get, the faster it goes. Make the most of it while you've got it.

Live Well to Benefit all. Harm None.

Spend Less. Stay Longer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted about 30 different people at my loft the summer before moving out of NYC.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Until now, I have only hosted people through this site.

I have only surfed once while in Iceland last summer. Great host. I hope my futurel hosts are as lovely as the guests I have had the opportunity to meet as they have stayed w/ me while traveling through NYC

Interests

Currently focused on aerial photo & video.

I am always making something, or planning the next thing to make whether it be a sculpture or a photograph. I see the world through a certain creative filter of "how can I make something from that?" kind of perspective. I am always curious of how things are made. I'll have an idea of something I want to do, then figure out how to make it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a wide variety of music from Rock, Egyptian Pop music, Ethiopian Jazz, classical, etc...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bought a motorcycle and drove from from the South to North of Vietnam; 2800 km. Rode through a super typhoon.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like meeting all kinds of people. It's fun to get excited about a shared interest, and also fun to learn and share w/ someone completely different than myself.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Lots of experiences and travel stories.

I'm pretty handy around the house w/ tools, design, layout. Happy to consult.
