I had chosen to leave, and live alone in a foreign country and in fleeing thousands of miles across the Pacific and the Indian Ocean. I chose myself, and a chance at a different future.

I would say that I am a fairly adventurous sort. I certainly love to travel and experience the world, the amazing people in it and I think that is why I found CS to begin with. So many of my friends and family think I'm crazy, but there are so many of us open hearted people out there and I find you here. Travel is amazing. I feel so free when I'm out exploring! I am constantly learning when I am on the road. I feel inspired and electrified. A natural extension for me is my photography. I want to capture those fleeting moments and savor them long after they have passed. Yet I love the new moments as well. Oh, and all the cool people I meet along the way. :) I'm cinematographer and generally interesting person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have met many people along the way in my travels. This allows me to share in the cultural exchange it's meant for and I also am always talking about it others, so I do my share of passing along the info. I'm also reaching out to my local CSers and plan to get more involved with them. All my friends are all over the world, so not only is it ia great way to make cool friends nearby and far away, but it will be with people I can talk with about travel adventures. Non travelers can get bored with our stories. I think it's a great organization.

Interests

Well first the obvious, I am very passionate about cinema and travel. I enjoy everything about the video including photography, videography, and watching it, just as I enjoy every aspect of travel; even the getting lost part, it always makes for a great story. I love meeting new people and establishing friendships and just overall having a great time. My main thing is I love to joke around and laugh and just overall be in a good mood. I tend to surround myself with good vibes just as I give off. I would not be able to enjoy such wonderful things in life, such as cinema and travel, if I am not having a good time as well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to get to know my hosts. I chose you for a reason thus I would love to get to know you and find out about your culture and or what it is like living in the country you do. I love having conversations with my hosts about anything really. One day I think that people will travel not to see countries or monuments but instead to meet unique people and have a good time and or make a new friend abroad.
