CURRENT MISSION

Meet people, explore, and find new stories to tell!

ABOUT ME

I'm always searching for new experiences, both personal and professional. I live through my eyes and telling stories with light is the driving force in my life. I love meeting new people and I look forward to creating new projects with new people, continuing to develop my skills, and most of all show people something they haven’t seen before.

PHILOSOPHY

Be open, keep laughing, and eat yummy food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm currently traveling through Europe, but intend to start hosting through the site when I get back to LA.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've never couchsurfed before, but I've always hosted people on my couch (informally) for years. I've opened my door to countless strangers and I've yet to have a bad experience, but this is my first time traveling this way!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

scuba dived at night with manta rays in Hawaii!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching the various skills I've learned from filmmaking including photography, videography, editing, directing, lighting, and screenwriting. However, the main reason I'm traveling is to learn about new places from the people who know them best. I will add that I love eating when I travel, and if you take me out to your favorite local food spots I would love to share a meal (on me of course).
