ABOUT ME

I'm a multimedia journalist struck with wanderlust. I film, photograph, write. I explore, I cook, I engage with the world.

PHILOSOPHY

You live once. Own it. Make it yours and make it worth it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm in a transitional period in my life so I can't host anyone right now, but I'd love to in the future. Right now, I'm looking to surf and meet great people who know the cities and towns I'll be traveling through.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only had the opportunity to couchsurf once through Portland, but it was a great experience and I look forward to doing it again sometime.
