About Me

I am an open-minded, compassionate soul with a taste for traveling. I work mainly in documentary film where I focus on spiritual/inspirational projects that inspire the greatest good. I have worked on several films regarding the Dalai Lama and this past year traveled to Sri Lanka to help make a film about deaf teenage dancers. I am a music NUT, play guitar and frequent the summer festivals like Bonnaroo, Mountain Jam and the like. I prefer to have a few close-knit friends in my life rather than dozens of casual acquantainces, am SUPER clean and healthy and am always looking for ways to satisfy my curiosity for EVERYTHING!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This summer I am working for a company that handles clean-up/recycling for major music festivals. Most of my gigs will be on the West Coast and I am going to fill the gaps with traveling to a number of cities I have yet to be to: Portland, Seattle, Vancouver ect. What better way to experience these places than through couch-surfing!
