About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I am an aspiring filmmaker currently trying to make it into Hollywood :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In September of 2009, I used Jet Blue's All-You-Can-Jet pass to film a 30 city/30 day documentary on Slow Food. I stayed with several Couch Surfers doing my stay and had an incredible time meeting everyone. I sadly haven't had a chance to surf or host since then, but looking forward to doing it again!
