About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am moving to California to live out my dream as a filmmaker. Looking for a few places to crash a couple nights. I'm looking to meet as many people as possible.

4 nights tops at one couch surfing hosts home. That is my rule. I couchsurfed for a full year with countless people. Once I get a place I will be hosting non-stop.

ABOUT ME

My greatest accomplishment is my cross country bike adventure. The documentary on it is so close to being done.

I have an endless amount of passion towards everything that I do.

PHILOSOPHY

I am the creator of my future.

I believe in the power of positivity.

Once a friend, always a friend in my book.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couch surfed on a bike journey of mine. Chicago to LA and back. 98 days of camping/couch surfing. 4,691 miles.

I took a road trip back in 2012 for 47 days helping out a cancer survivor documentary.

When I lived up in Chicago I took in as many people as I could. Multiple groups at a time. We had 6 people staying with us- 3 separate groups. Had a blast.

Right now- the people who I live with do not support my couch surfing ways :(

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love it. I tell everyone about it. I prefer to couchsurf over Airbnb or hotels.
