Hello,

I grew up in the mission district of San Francisco and attended a French international school growing up. I became fascinated with filmmaking as a teenager and started making my own short films. This passion led me to art school later on and I studied Film & Television production in university. I was fortunate to spend my first year of university in Hong Kong (hello Wong Kar Wai) and my last three years in charming Savannah Georgia.

After school, I travelled around the U.S for a bit, moved back home, and got involved with the family business. My family runs a gorgeous little bar in San Francisco that is very important to us. I worked as a production assistant on an indie feature and other film related projects when I could.

My family and every wise old person I respect has always encouraged me to travel while I'm young, so that is what I'm doing!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

- As much I love traveling alone, I like getting the local experience and meeting interesting people!

- Working in a creative field- my budget is tight!
