I am a freelance photographer who enjoys traveling the globe. I find that when you start to pair friends in the mix with traveling you exponentially increase your enjoyment for the trip!

I have a background in Mechanical Engineering and my partner is studying biochem at University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. He currently does research in gene splicing of DNA sequences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are looking for new friends who enjoy traveling. Couchsurfing for us is the perfect way to not only meet those new, strong connections across borders, but also to share differing perspectives in conversations.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite kind of music is EDM. I will listen to it all day long and won't get bored. For movies, I really enjoy a mashup of movies and will watch pretty much anything.

For books, I only read non-fiction and have been really engrossed in doing a personal study on public opinion. I'm curious about how public opinions in cities start and develop over time. I have read a mountain of biographies over industry titans in business.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have my private pilots license, instrument rating, and seaplane rating. Instead, over dinner you should ask me about my horror stories as a student in flying! :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Like I said, I am a freelance photographer, you can see my work on jusmcafeephoto.com and let me know what you think! If you are interested in photography, hands-down I would love to teach you how to get a better photo.

I want to learn about your countries culture, all that there is to know. I will primarily focus on culture, business, and network connections (because these are typically my go-tos).

I love to share the photos I take, this is definitely a love language for me. If you don't get any photos from me, sorry there just wasn't a connection!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Photos is all I have. That and my interest in conversations.

Ask me about my flying car concept or my education reform proposal. These will surely jumpstart any conversation you would like to have with me.... for hours! Make sure you can point me to a cheap local bottle of wine I can buy for us and we will be set for the night!
