Overview
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.
