I am professional photographer/ artist originally from the New York City area. I went to college in Baltimore, MD for Fine Art Photography. During my time in school I spent 6 months living abroad in Hamburg, Germany. Last year I was living in Austin, Texas, but just moved back to living and working on the road. I have been traveling around the USA in my car for the past few months and am now heading overseas to spend sometime in Europe.

I am very friendly and open minded/liberal. I love good conversation over coffee or beer. Sometimes I feels like I'm always on an adventure, but I also enjoy a good day of doing nothing.

I love meeting new people and am often wandering the streets of whatever city I am in asking strangers for a chance to take their portrait.

Photography is my work and passion, but I also love playing guitar, reading, playing board games (I love chess), camping, and of course eating delicious food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel often and like to meet new people/ have a more authentic experience with the places I go. I find that staying with people from those places I travel makes it easier to have the experience I'm looking for. I am also a professional artist/ photographer who travels for work and I like that I can save money while meeting new people.
