I am a professional photographer who photographs everything and everyone.
You can see my work at www.lbraggphotography.com. I'm currently attending grad school in Normal IL to receive my MFA in photography.

I'm straight edge (no drinking, no smoking, etc. although I don't mind those who do), I'm very clean and organized. I love meeting new people and going on grand adventures. I enjoy coffee shops, independently own book stores, and exploring new places. I live in a tiny apartment with my fiance, and own a prius. We try to live as simply as possible, and work to consume as little as we need. We love buying locally and from local stores and the farmers market. I ride my bike everywhere I can, and my fiance loves his motorcycle.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am starting a documentary project on people who allow strangers into their homes: aka couch surfing. I am interesting in spending time with you and documenting the ins and outs of your life; the personal moments that you are allowing a stranger to walk in on.

I'm also interested in hosting and photographing the strangers who come into our home.

Please feel free to ask questions.

I'm looking to meet new people, have amazing conversations, go on grand adventures, and in general be an awesome person.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been a professional freelance photographer since I was 17.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach: photography, tea, ballroom dancing and a bit of sewing. I'm super into tiny living and minimalism, I'm happy to share the way I make such things work!

I love learning new things, and I love doing new things together! I really want to get into freegan/free living.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm happy to help with housework, I love animals, and I can share my bright sunny personality. I always look on the bright side-everything is a grand adventure if you want it to be.

I have plenty of great stories about my photography adventures-I would love to make some new ones with you!
