I’m a young but well traveled individual adjusting to what I want life to be. I grew up taking pictures along side my hobby photographer father who’s travels have been the center of his work I’m hoping to gain new experiences and see what the world has to offer. I love hiking, camping, scuba diving, honestly anything outdoorsy and I like being out out of my comfort zone. (though I will admit a fear of heights) I was born in the US, my father is Canadian, and my mother is Indonesian. I’ve lived in Indonesia,the USA, Oman, the UAE, and now Canada. Hopefully I’d be looking to move places and work odd job opportunities to stay afloat and continue travels.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just want to explore what the world has to offer and so I think couch surfing is the perfect way to do it. I’m planning to travel and work on my online business and photography through finding real world experiences and using them to my gain and advantage in any way I possibly can.
Growing up in so many different countries with a pilot dad was amazing and no matter where in the world we lived in or went to we always had people crashing with us from all corners of the globe. Never have we not had an amazing experience! Meeting people with a genuine love for living is rare so I’m hoping to find more people like that!

Interests

I honestly just love nature and I love people. I’m hoping to meet some positive souls. I want to adventure and go to random places and meet random people who want to go on hikes and want to go hiking and just show me what they love in the world and hopefully I’ll be able to capture that with my camera.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to honestly all kinds of music just not country, I don’t know why. I love classical, my favourite composer is Stephen Moccio though I also really like listening to Billy Eilish and Pink Floyd and Bob Marley... you get the gist just not country.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’ve taken pictures of the second smallest genus of monkeys in the world called tarsius, their found in the North Celebes in Indonesia. I was guided to see them in a small village called Batu Putih and hiked for a few hours in Tangkoko national park, the tour was actually guided by my mother!

Teach, Learn, Share

Honestly I’m looking to find outgoing and artistic individuals who would like their picture taken in exchange for a place to crash and also they have to show me a sick place to take some pics! You could show me a cool building, or just a nice part of the town you live in, or we could go on a hike, etc I just like meeting new people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can take some photos of you! I’ve taken photos published in fashion magazines so maybe some photos and company(life time of friendship maybe?) in exchange for a couch to sleep on + an adventure isn’t so bad?
