About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the world and then transpose my vision into film.

ABOUT ME

I am an aspiring independent filmmaker, recently graduated from Columbia University. I had a frequent flyer card at age 3 and since then I have always been happiest when traveling. My father is Spanish, my mother is Italian-American, I sometimes feel French, but I really don't believe in nationalism. I want to learn about all cultures and the individuals that make it.

PHILOSOPHY

I would love to discuss philosophy with you. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I welcomed couchsurfers to my dorm room at Columbia University as often as I could. When I travel alone, I like to meet couchsurfers all around the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed in the south of France after my study abroad program and it was so lovely. I have also hosted some fascinating people.

Interests

CINEMA! I'm an extreme cinephile and center my life around movies. Mostly the art house indie type.
