Hey there! I'm a freelance filmmaker/visual journalist and I love to read, be out in nature, meet new people, and eat! I'm curious about the world and people from different lived experiences, which is largely the best part of being in this community.

I lived in California for most of my life and plan to drive across the country, living in places for a few weeks at a time just to meet different people and experience something new. If you're open to hosting me and my dog, I'd love to help pitch in however I can and meet ya!

I haven’t been able to host yet because I’ve moved around a lot within the last few years, but am very excited to set up a place and welcome travelers! Would love to share the abundance of generosity and care I’ve received as part of this community. Can likely start hosting in March/Apr of 2021!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am absolutely in love with the cs community! Sometimes, I think that I’ll remember the place more so because of the people I’ve met there than anything. I’ve only had positive experiences so far and am humbled to have made friends wherever I go thanks to this platform :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love philosophy, food, nature, photo/film, traveling, sports, culture, music, and talking about social issues, so we can definitely engage in some insightful conversations. Also, always willing to lend a hand, so let me know if you need help with anything!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Really into photography and film, so I'd be happy to take photos for you! Also, I've been swimming for almost my entire life and have coached before, so I can help give pointers. If you like to surf/scuba/climb, we can go do that together, although I'm just starting to learn how to surf, so I can share in the struggle more so than teach :)
