CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

In my early 20s I lived in South Carolina, Washington DC, & Los Angeles. Moved to northern Vermont in 2011 and have been very happy in this little corner of the country ever since.

I do some freelance film work, as well as occasional work for my local access TV station. I'm also an employee at High Mowing Organic Seeds. My personal passions are endless, but the ones I focus on the most are writing, filmmaking & photography. And my "education" I'm working on the most are primitive skills, gardening, wild-crafting, construction, and the like.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't think I could possibly sum this up.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I enjoy traveling by myself sometimes, and it's great to connect with people instead of being alone in a hotel room (and cheaper)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done slow road-trips across North America 4 different times. Once across the southern section, once across the middle, once across the northern USA, and the most recent time I drove from Montreal to Vancouver.

The past 18 months my big project has been building myself a small house (slightly bigger than "tiny")

Teach, Learn, Share

Always love to learn about local things when traveling.

I have a lot of knowledge in film & photography.

Countries I’ve Visited
