CURRENT MISSION

Gather as many different life experiences as I can.

ABOUT ME

I am a creative person who is trying to gather interesting life experiences and expand my horizons. I am kind, enthusiastic, and open to what the world has to offer. I focus most my energy on playing music and making photographs/videos. I am also interested in politics, technology and sociology.

PHILOSOPHY

Do onto others what you would have them do onto you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A housemate of mine once had two Aussies over for a night and we all cooked and held a big dinner and party in their honor. The dinner was superb and after the party died down we all walk to the beach and talked late into the night.

Interests

Shooting photos and videos is my greatest passion. I have been obsessed with the two since I was very young and now I have a degree in it (Yay!). Music is my second favorite thing in the world. Listening to a well crafted album is an experience unlike anything else. Playing music with friends is equally as unique and endlessly entertaining. I play the drums and am working on bass.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sky diving was everything they say it is. Hurtling through the air makes all of lifes problems melt away.

Scuba Diving in the Great Barrier Reef was a trip. Diving at night with fish darting around you is unsettling at first but the sensory deprivation makes being underwater even more surreal.

I once photographed a group of witches in Santa cruz for a news paper but they would only let me shoot if I participated in their ritual. It started of making decrotive garlands and drinking some home made wine. Then things got more interesting with pagan stories and jumping over a fire pit. Eventually I was tied to a may pole! It was really fun to be apart of such a foreign ritual.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am open to learning from all walks of life.
