Hello!
I am a traveling filmmaker. I normally do promotional videos for outdoor companies, but my greatest passion is documentary films. I also live live theatre acting and anything creative :)
I have been in Thailand for the past month, climbing and filming a documentary for a Buddhist forest monastery.
I love travel, but most of all, encountering the beauty in people.
I would love to met you, too!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used to crave traveling because I was desperate to live; desperate to experience as much as I possibly could in the time given to me. I was insatiable, always looking, always impatient and agitated and looking for the next thing to do. I'm not going to lie. I made a lot of memories and have lots of stories to tell. But that is all I received from those times: "Stories to tell." I never really, truly enjoyed myself and immersed into the moment. I also never had time for other people. And isn't that the whole point of everything? Encountering others?
I'm on couchsurfing because I don't want to travel quickly anymore and take the quick tourist routes. I want to immerse myself and learn the cultures; stay in someone's home and learn about their lives, their passions.
