About Me

I'm a freelance videographer, and hobby photographer. At the moment I'm living in Tokyo, Japan; but, grew up in a small Canadian town south-west of Toronto. Audio/visual production is my passion, and I've worked on documentaries, travel shows, short-films, skateboarding videos, and stop-motion animation projects.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Seeing beyond the tour bus, and getting a sense of what life is like in another part of the world is invaluable. I want to connect with locals, make friends, and share travel experiences.
