About Me

I'm a filmmaker, photographer, and passionate adventurer. I also really like puns. This is me: ig: @justaskjenny

I've couch surfed a few times, both in Europe and North America, and otherwise use airbnb to stay with likeminded hosts. I'm extremely respectful of space and very friendly, and I would love to meet as many as you as I can throughout my travels. Truly an ENFP (if you follow the 16 personalities test).

I've fallen in love with travelling, and I can honestly say that the thing that inspires me the most is seeing and hearing stories from all the great people I've met during my adventures on the road.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

If couchsurfing is based on trust, it's a good thing I hope for the best in people. I enjoy meeting other creative souls, sharing good energy, and learning more about the communities I visit.

— Ziplining through the clouds from the peak of one mountain to the other in Vancouver
— Toured North America and Australia as an Assistant Production Manager
— Lived in the Yukon, Canada during the summer, in 2014
— Living in Cuba for a Documentary film project

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my poetry, or Sinhalese, or even teach photography and filmmaking skills for those interested in learning more!
