ABOUT ME

California-Born and Bred. Wild. Free. Filmmaker, Writer, Musician and Painter traveling the world! I am also recently an engineer specialising in User Experience.

PHILOSOPHY

Keep sending love letters to everybody you meet. It's not like economics. Economics have no place in love and love = life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It's me! :D I connect with people through storytelling, music and art.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted a girl from Poland, and I have surfed now in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. Also been through Morocco and surfed alot of couches on the Camino of St. Jacques of Compostelle. :D so far, each experience was rad!

Interests

I am a filmmaker! I play guitar, I write electronica, and I am an awesome cook (I can make you meals if provided the raw materials) super good at massage, and TRAVELING, meeting new people, and seeing the world! Let's be friends! Who knows, maybe your story will end up in my next film (with your permission, of course)! I also like hiking, water sports, SCUBA diving, surfing, and rock climbing. I go to the gym when I'm not a crazy hobo guy.
