About Me

I am a videographer and writer working on a documentary on the Refugee situation along the European Southern Borders. I have been in Athens, Chios Island and then Thessaloniki for the No Borders Camp. I lived in Barcelona for over six years while I studied and now interested in relocating to Madrid or the area.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am coming from Thessaloniki No Borders Camp in Greece and will be in Madrid for a week or so, then down and back over to Barcelona. As we all have, there are great people who share this desire for Solidarity and sharing space when they can. I someday soon will have a space to share, now on the road filming and then will hope to settle and work with collectives in Madrid over the next year.
