Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have almost made a lifestyle out of couchsurfing with friends and family and strangers met along the way. I have only used the actual website a few times but it has been a great tool for making new connections!

Interests

I enjoy people, nature, bustling cities and the changing light patterns amongst and around all those things. I am a photographer at heart but spend my time these days documenting the pictures and stories around me in words rather than images.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I created a community radio program for youth in Baltimore City teaching kids how to record and interview the goings on in their neighborhood. That same year, I ended up in northwestern India (Ladakh area) listening to the Dalai Lama speak to a group of Tibetans. That was 10 years ago, these days the most amazing thing I'm doing is learning how to be truly present with each person in my daily life.
