About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To continue to travel and gather stories, to learn about the world, to experience the history, politics, attitude of a nation firsthand. How does culture divide and unite us, what are the core elements of being human that transcend any border, language, religion? One day I hope to be ready to sit still for a few months and take what I've learned and write a bunch of feature length scripts and become an auteur of road films :)

ABOUT ME

A traveling storyteller. I don't like hostels and I don't like tourist traps. I like to get to know a place and the only way to do that is by exploring with locals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet open-minded people from other countries who, like me, strive to make connections across the globe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Waking up every day is pretty amazing...but some fun adventures:

Skydiving

Making a documentary on sugar cane in Trinidad & Tobago

La Copa Mundial in Brasil!

16 hour bus ride from Cairo to Aswan in Egypt. The only foreigner and complete language barrier with my fellow passengers and drivers.

Organic farming in the sacred valley in Peru and plant medicine with amazing shamans

Currently volunteering in a refugee camp in mainland Greece

What I Can Share with Hosts

Let's swap music, traveling tips, stories from the road.

I love to cook, but I'd rather be your sous chef and learn how you cook.

But mostly I want to hear what you have to share with me. So I can share my 'listening skills' :)
