Hello! I’m Matt 👋🏼

In the last few years I’ve created a life where I split my time between living in Salt Lake City for winter and living near Cusco, Perú the rest of the year. I’m currently working on obtaining residency in Peru. For work I’m a freelance photographer and videographer in the outdoor industry shooting mostly adventure style shots for outdoor brands and businesses. Most of all, I love going on adventures big and small, capturing the beauty of our natural world, and telling stories about my experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love learning about other peoples’ experiences and ways of life. I want to meet people from all different background and form meaningful connections whether it’s only for a day or for months
