About Me

I am currently an Entrepreneur that works on the Google Street View program. It's been a few years and the road has definitely had its up and downs. I learned a lot about business, fierce competition and never giving up. If I could say one skill that is most important is resilience, cause you will definitely have to endure a lot of punches before you can find success. This is something that I am still striving to, keeping a positive mind, positive attitude and belief in yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I traveled quite a bit in the past, my favorite trips are the ones where I connected with the people. It doesn't matter as much about the touristy spots, but instead the spirit of locals that give the city life. Oh and delicious local food also helps =)

Interests

I am passionate about helping people and growth. I help a lot of small businesses develop their marketing campaigns. Working with business owners, I first focus on who they are before I can help their business.

I am also an avid photographer for about 10+ years now. Photography has opened up so many doors, it has given me a career, a source to capture many historic events, and outlet to communicate.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite would be live electronic music festivals. I have been given opportunities to photograph international DJ's with crowds of over 10,000 people. A combination of the electronic beats and energy of people is what makes the music for me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being in the center of Beijing city when the 2008 Olympics Ceremony was opened up in China for the first time. Experiencing the pride and joy of the local people was a moment I won't forget.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think I have a good understanding of Photography and Social Media. Although the core of photography is still Art, there is much to know about what surrounds it. Technology, Business, Branding, People. I can teach you about the culture and business of photography. I hope to help you create something memorable you can leave behind.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am an Entrepreneur with 3-4 years experience. I also can show you a thing or two about development and personal growth. I'm also very savy with technology and as mentioned photography.
