I'm very curious and outgoing and really enjoy travel experiences off the beaten path. Diving deep into the rituals of local culture is always fun, where to eat, things to do and all. I also seek out a city's local art district and look for events that expand the mind, involve interacting with other and witnessing truth and beauty. I'm open to talking about anything. I'm a filmmaker/photographer and moving into conceptual art experiences and design.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The platform is a great way to form meaningful connections with people of all backgrounds and interests, and becoming a world citizen is an intention of mine. The depth of knowledge and insight received through others in this way instead of staying at a hotel is much for valuable to me.

Interests

Design/art, worldly foods, being active, exploring new cities, cinema, being near water, mountain biking, hiking, anything outdoors and active, meeting new people, enjoying golden hour and feeling the warmth of the sun kissing my face
