CURRENT MISSION

To travel and explore the world with my camera and observations. I want to find out how people all over the world interact.

ABOUT ME

I am a very easy going pleasant individual. I'll try anything once and if I like it, I'll develop a passion for it. I am a photographer and attempting to make a living at it. I love finding moments of unspoken energy between people, and I love to watch people interact with one another. I am a very active person and enjoy snowboarding, skateboarding, football (soccer) and many other activities.

PHILOSOPHY

I think that one has to live life by letting it happen. To not worry about things that are out of your control, and to enjoy the aspects of life you do have control over. I think friends, family and happiness are the most important things in the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have had the opportunity to host, but due to a busy schedule I have not had a chance to host more. I plan to change that when I get back from my travels.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The most couch surfing I have done has been within Canada. A few trips out to Vancouver for skateboarding, and snowboarding. It was wonderful to hang out with people of similar interests that would be able to show me hidden secrets of the city. I have also developed great relationships in a short period of time with the people I have stayed with and the people that have stayed with me.

Music, Movies, and Books

independent rock, punk, metal, rock, jazz, blues, dance, electronica, hip-hop, break beats, mashups. I like all types of music really. As for books I like authors such as Neil Gaiman, Nick Hornby, Oscar Wilde, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Jose Saramago, George Orwell, Hunter S. Thompson, and many more. Movies are as broad as my music tastes. I have a soft spot for film noire movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trekked the Inca Trail to Manchu Picchu, rappelled a 45m cliff. Jumped a 10m cliff on my snowboard. Shot photos at the Vans Warped! Tour. I think there are many amazing things I have done, and the list continues to grow! Life would be boring otherwise.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you how to take a great photograph, or teach you how to get the fastest snowboard through tuning it. I can also discuss music and film to great lengths. I would love to learn how to dance better and I wish I could speak more languages.
