About Me

Weeee!!!!

A big fan of having deep interactions with the strangers that quickly become good friends in my life. I'm a huge believer that everyone around us want to interact with one another, we just don't really know how.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm excited about surfing new cities and making some great friendships that hopefully last a lifetime. I am getting my place ready so I can host people that would love to come to the Chi. I have a lot of free time so I would have time to show people around

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Absolutely none yet, I hope my first one is a good one so I can continue doing this!

Interests

I love dancing, latin dancing is my favorite. I put in about 3 hours a day of tennis during the summer here in Chicago. I love ice skating in the winter. I'm dying to go free diving somewhere with beautiful reefs. I love watching and talking about movies. I own a scooter and I love riding every warm night out in the city with a group of friends who also ride. I'm a cinematographer so I get to work on fun short films, cool commercials, fun corporate videos. I love talking life experiences, adventures, relationships, empowering youtube videos, comedians, career choices. My favorite books are How I found Freedom in an Unfree World and the 4 Hour Workweek

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: How I found freedom in an unfree world, the 4 hour workweek, the easy way to stop smoking(never smoked in my life, it sounded interesting)

Movies: Fight Club, City of God, Pursuit of Happiness, V for vendetta, Dark Knight, the Machinist, Silver Linings playbook, Shawshank redemption, Invictus, every Pixar movie ever made... the list is infinite

Music: I love Oldies, Sinatra is my favorite. Love coldplay, smart rappers like immortal technique. Always listening to latin music, bachata, salsa, merengue (I end up dancing every time)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Did a lot of organic couch surfing during a solo motorcycle trip from Chicago to the Tail of the dragon in north Carolina. It was wonderful to just go dancing, or end up at a restaurant, and meet people who were so kind to let me stay at their place. It was great to allow myself to be at the mercy of strangers after riding all the backroads from my hometown all the way to Townsend.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to learn to cook better! How to host people and make them as comfortable as possible. I'm looking to find out about some awesome books to read, and have great knowledge on a few good ones. I want to receive and provide as much exposure to people as possible.

I can always give you free latin dance lessons!
