I am an actor from NYC. @callmekmr on IG. Raised in the Bay Area, CA (near San Francisco), studied in San Diego, and worked in Chicago before moving to LA and then New York City. I've been performing in Harry Potter on Broadway since 2019 (minus the pandemic), and I am a career film and theatre maker. I love to travel and explore cultures and cuisines. I enjoy nothing more than trying new things and meeting people from all over the world to discover their interests and passions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I studied abroad twice in my life, and have made some great experiences and even better friends through CS. In 2012, I moved from CA to IL, and drove through Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma and Missouri, couch surfing and meeting new friends along the way. I've been a host to friends from all over the world, and been a grateful guest in other's spaces. Some of my deepest friendships have come from the connections made with like-minded humans while traveling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

La Correfoc in Barcelona, Spain, during La Merce Festival. Fire literally rained down upon my head!

Bastille Day in Paris, on the Eiffel Tower. No one celebrates national pride quite like they do.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn to play the drums, or just about any musical instrument really. Also, learning how to cook foods from other places is about as cool as it gets, I believe.

I could teach you a bit about screenwriting and acting. Maybe a little about speaking Spanish too (though I definitely need to practice mine). And I can definitely teach English.

I'd love to share some great stories and experiences with whoever I happen to meet!
