I am very new to couch surfing, just trying it for the first time while I'm in Europe. I am from the US and I just graduated from film school. I love to travel and meet new people and I try to keep a very open mind. I think that I'm pretty outgoing and fun to be around, especially when I am doing something I enjoy like traveling!
I take my art making seriously but I do also love sitting around and talking while drawing and painting. Embracing new ideas and ways of thinking is essential to making good art and I think couch surfing is an easy way to have cultural exchange.
If you want to show me the nightlife in your area, I would love that too! I love cocktails and dancing and I am always looking to have a good time!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel to new places and make new long lasting friendships. I don't want to feel like a tourist and go to all the boring sightseeing spots!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Everyone always says that they listen to everything and it's usually not really true but I actually do! I love old hippie music from the 60s and 70s but I also love some top 40 hits so it really varies.
Movies: I love Tarkovsky, the Russian filmmaker, he's my favorite. I like serious long films that are about the art of filmmaking...also experimental filmmakers like Brakhage, Deren, Frampton, and so on. If you know these artists, we will get along well!
Books: I have only been reading books for school for so long that I haven't read a book for myself in a really long time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I completed my first film for my senior thesis at school...I don't know how amazing it is but I was impressed with myself!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a really fun person to be around. If we go out together, I can assure that you'll have a great time. I love talking to new people about all kinds of things, so I can offer some good conversations as well. I can draw something for you too if you like!
