Born and raised in Los Angeles, I'm a filmmaker and photographer and digital nomad of sorts. I love creating and collaborating with other people and hanging out with good humored people.

I studied philosophy and love talking about all sorts of subjects: travel, art, politics, music, history, you name it. I speak German and am decent in Spanish, always down to learn and share stories and go on adventures.

Spent most of my 20s abroad and have lived in the UK, China, Germany, Spain, and Portugal.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people. Learning new ideas. Hearing great stories. Get off the phone and into the world.
