About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel as much as possible and soak up everything I can

ABOUT ME

I was born and live in Los Angeles, California, though I rarely stay there because I'm often travelling. At the moment, I am a film student at Emerson College, and when I'm not learning I am generally hitch-hiking around America seeking adventure. For the most part, I think I am a morally righteous person. I am extremely friendly and make a point of making acquaintances with everyone I meet, though I am admittedly terrible at remembering names.

PHILOSOPHY

Forget direction and keep a smile and you'll always get where you are going.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I don't have a home; I live in a dorm, so I can't host (though I certainly plan to). For now, I only want to use this website as a tool for my travels.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Spend most of my summers hitchhiking and road tripping around America and meeting people. Many of them have let me stay with them, and many of them I have housed, although none through this website.

I'm a film student so definitely cinema.
Food. 2 years culinary school.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite directors: Akira Kurosawa, Federico Felini, Ingmar Bergman, Roman Polanski, Brad Bird, Guillermo del Toro, Wong Kar-Wai, Grigori Chukhrai, and Charlie Chaplin
Music: It's all good. Not particularly into europop or death metal, but I am open minded.
Books:Doctor Zhivago, Gulliver's travels, On the road, Walden, On truth and lying in the non-moral sense, Allan Watt's the book, and breakfast of champions.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traversed across america on multiple occasions (road trips and hitchhiking) and have seen some trippy stuff on each occasion.

Teach, Learn, Share

Educated in film and film history, although I don't believe that many people are as interested in that as I am. I have a huge musical library and love sharing music with people. In fact, I love it so much I have my own radio show where that is all I do for two hours. Am a good cook and a self-proclaimed philosopher. Other than that, my formal education is more or less standard, however, my life experiences are far from it.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Canada, Germany, Greece, Italy, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

Netherlands, United States
