About Me

I just started working as the Onsite Administrator for THINK Global School, the world's first traveling high school. My job is a mix of media and technology, administration and logistics, and mentoring and advising high school students.

When school's not in session, I'll be backpacking around. I've had great CS experiences and want to continue exchanging stories with people all over.

Let's go take pictures!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've had a lot of great experiences traveling in other countries, but none have been better than when I spend time with people who live there. I'd like to provide a relaxed place for travelers in Morocco, and keep exploring other places with locals.

Interests

I like playing piano, making and watching movies (especially documentaries), trying new food, hanging out with friends, wandering around different places, being busy, and more. A lot more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I dropped everything to live in Uganda for a couple months and make a feature length documentary about the youth experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love the learning process, so whatever you're passionate about, tell me! I'll ask a lot of questions.

I can teach you about designing projects, music theory, photography techniques, Moroccan Arabic (swear words, anyone??), and documentary filmmaking.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a bunch of travel stories, but more importantly, I hope I can offer an inquisitive mind. I want to know your story!

I'm average at cooking and above average at cleaning up.
