I love most things. I really enjoy sitting and talking with people about their lives. For me the greatest time that I have had is when I am out with new people talking about what we care about. And my greatest passion is filmmaking. I believe in the power of images, and I live to create powerful images. I like wine, beer, fun board games, playing cards, dancing, singing..

I am from North Carolina in the United States, and I played basketball at Duke University for one year before leaving the team in search of a more fulfilling life, which I am finding in my passion for filmmaking. I hope to make many powerful movies in my life, and to do so I need to travel and meet a lot of very interesting people, which is why I love to Couchsurf!

Besides movies, though, I love trying new things and meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am currently traveling around Spain because my brother lives in the north of Spain and my girlfriend lives on the coast in the west of Spain, so I am doing quite a bit of traveling between the two places they live. And I really want to meet interesting people while doing so !

Interests

I love filmmaking, writing, photography, music, reading. Basically anything artistic, I am interested in. I also have a deep passion for basketball, having played for most of my life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking the Appalachian Trail, and working on two documentaries, one in Germany, and one in England ! And... being a twin brother.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am not so certain about teaching, but I am always looking to learn new things and practice Spanish, German, or help with English! And I love sharing stories and hearing other people tell stories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a pretty handy cook, and (oddly enough) really enjoy cleaning!
