About Me

I have been traveling since I was 20. That's when I got the bug. My first international experience on my own was working on a cruise ship in Germany. After seeing that beautiful country I wanted to go back one day and see more of Europe. I went on a backpacking trip for 2 months when I was 22 and saw so many great countries! Then I started traveling again at age 27. I was busy building a life but I'm glad I started seeing the world again. Since then I have not stopped traveling. Every year I want to see something different. I will be visiting a lot of countries, mainly to follow cultural festivals, over the next 8 months and I hope you will have me. I'm a photographer so following festivals and capturing the happiness and beauty of it is something that I can't wait do!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be traveling in and out of the United States between now and April 2017. Between now and December 1st I will be traveling to Amsterdam (August and October), Munich for Oktoberfest (September), Albuquerque New Mexico for the Balloon Festival (October), Mexico City for Dia de los Muertos (November). Then in December I plan to visit New Zealand and Australia. I intend to be in Sydney for the New Year! Visit China, Indonesia, Thailand, Taiwan, morocco, Italy, Ireland, and India from January - April. I hope that I could make that work. Then go back to Denver for a couple weeks then go to Spain, Mexico, Cuba, Peru, Chile, and Argentina for the summer. I don't know. I want to see it all!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think it's this plan that I have for the next year of following festivals and capturing those moments with my camera

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
I think I've lived a long life. At the age of 32 I have been through a lot and I've seen a lot. But I'm not done of course. I can also teach you a little about cooking because I was a cook for 5 years before becoming a photographer. I can also teach you things about photography. I've been doing it for 10 years now. I can also teach you how to drink and bar hop :)

Learn:
I would like to know about you and your countries culture and traditions

Share:
I don't understand. Wanna share clothes? :/
