CURRENT MISSION

To tell stories of beauty, struggle, and determination through film and photography

ABOUT ME

I want to do video documentaries, some narrative form, some more journalism.
I also love to cook, especially soups, most of all soups that are to be shared on cold days and hungover mornings. I like poetry and writing and speaking Spanish. My portuguese is falling into the Spanish words I know.

PHILOSOPHY

I think we should sort through the past and swim towards the future. I believe in challenging ourselves and each other, with love, respect and truth (but I'm too critical to be a hippy)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've stayed on a few couches and met some lovely people. I've had some kind folks crash on my couch and look forward to more.

Interests

Hiking in the woods, doing art, collaboration, listening to live music, preferably all of the above outside, around a campfire with many bottles of wine, a couple guitars, and some dogs... then we all wake up in the morning with the smell of campfire on our clothes

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once rode my bike with a friend from Canada to Mexico. One of my dreams is to head back down to Mexico and continue the journey to the bottom of Argentina.
While I was on the bike tour we would camp off the side off the rode or just stop in campgrounds where hikers and bikers only pay $2. It was great because we would cook meals with other people doing the same thing. We met some crazy folks and shared drinks and laughs. I met one guy who was eating roadkill like possums. That is not part of my dream when I head down to Mexico for Part 2.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to open a wine bottle without a wine key. I want to learn more about graphic design. I can teach you some techniques about drawing and painting.
