About Me

Life is one big game, I'm just trying to have some fun with it.

I'm looking for kind, funny, weird humans who are interested in creating genuine relationships. If you're open-minded, enjoy pushing your limits, have a bit of wit, and enjoy sharing stories then send me a message. If you work in photography or film and could use some help/teach me a thing or two, I'm always looking to learn more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because the kind of people who will let complete strangers into their home tend to be pretty wonderful.

Interests

Asking questions - I'm curious and not ashamed of not knowing the answers

Dancing - by myself. In the street. In a park. On a plane. IN THE WOODS.

Doing the shit I'm afraid of - I don't always like it at first but it's led to some pretty incredible experiences.

Film/photography - Trying to learn as much as I can because I've realized I love spending my time documenting experiences and hearing people's stories.

Hiking in the dark
Camping in the middle of nowhere
Cycling trips
Swimming in the ocean
Making shit with my hands
Running through trails
Working on social/economic issues
Learning languages
Traveling solo

Things I want to learn:

Kitesurfing
Filmmaking
How to vogue correctly
How to cook local cuisines

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most beautiful memory of my life has been taking an impulsive trip to Kauai to hike the Kalalau Valley Trail on the Na'Pali Coast. After 11mi of hiking you end up in this beautiful, lush valley on the beach that is completely inaccessible to boats during rainy season so it's just you and the 10 or so travelers who hiked all the way in. Such an incredible place.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to bake damn good cookies, I'm down to cook a delicious vegan meal, I'm ready and willing to clean house (figuratively and literally), I enjoy sharing stories, and will throw down at charades.
