CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world and meet beautiful creative folks who are interested in health, healing and art

ABOUT ME

I am a photographer and filmmaker and i work in youth education. I am a graduate of The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where I earned my BFA. I reside in Brooklyn, NY and have been there for the past five years. I just started a tea company and am traveling with my teas and sharing them with the people i meet. I wholeheartedly believe in living in the present, living to our fullest capacity, and living our dreams.

PHILOSOPHY

When quiet, awake, and present , you begin to hear.

Being awake is power.

Life is an adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am back in Brooklyn, sorting things out with getting my own place so until then, I can meet up for coffee. Can't wait to have my own place again so that I can host travelers!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

my most recent couch surfing experience was with an awesome couch surfer named leo. i met this great woman at a hostel and she introduced me to leo, he and his great bandmates were super welcoming, played music all night and we had an impromtu photo shoot! i felt blessed to meet such beautiful people.
