Was a previous backpacker for 2 years, I used Couchsurfing here and there, but when I did it was a necessary experience and interaction with the hosts. When I have my own place, I plan to host others, until then exploring other cultures, domestic or international remains my yearly objective.

Bit more about me... after video and photo freelancing for so many years i've finally established my own LLC in filmmaking. My EMT background has also been on the back burner and now that I am certified, I am on the way to getting the EMS experience that i've desired, but haven't known exactly why.

Managing a youth soccer club is currently paying the bills, but playing soccer is also the sport i've chosen since a child. Soccer being the worldly sport it's now showing me just how intricate it is and how to be an educator as a coach.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The people I meet is the largest factor to finding new perspective and to why I travel; couchsurfing is the perfect avenue to accomplish that.
