I am a photographer and my photographic interests are architectural details, nature and light reflections on water. I did anthropology in Mexico and Guatemala. I have lived in rural and remote places, building my houses and gardening. I love cutting firewood and spending time around campfires. I love traveling and meeting interesting people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
