I am an optimistic and easy going individual. There is something the compels me to move forward and try to connect with people whether through conversation, music, or film. I want to continue working on films and playing music for the rest of my life.

During the months of June and July 2013 I traveled across Europe and connected with filmmakers, artists and actors in order to produce an international documentary. What better place to find people then through the Couch Surfing community.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will contribute in any way that I can to make this experience memorable for all.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

During the spring of 2011, I hosted two girls from Los Angeles, Kendal and Amy. I was able to offer them a bed and towels and I really enjoyed our time together. They were wonderful and kind which made it a great experience.
We still keep contact and remain great friends to this day. =)

Intereses

I love cinema and music most of all. Also I am interested in philosophy which I studied in University. Lucid Dreaming, hypnosis and NLP are absolutely fascinating.
I like riding bikes, camping and hiking. Anything to be closer to nature and connect with the world.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Being in the open desert in Dubai was breathtaking. We went out on a desert safari and met with local Bedouin. We had a traditional meal as the sun set over the dunes. A wonderful experience.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I run a music school in Toronto and teach all sorts of instruments including piano, guitar, bass, drums.
I would always be willing to give free music lessons to those that offer me a place to stay during my travels.

I would love to learn more about photography, art, film and writing.
