About Me

I love to meet new people and try new things.

At the moment, my focus is finding different ways to use film to share knowledge in creative ways and change the world for the better.

I'm an open book, happy to find company with those that are also trying to figure life out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have gotten a lot more out of Couchsurfing than I ever thought possible. Of course I love traveling and meeting other people, but I've also learned new languages and even made lifelong friends.

My first CS Experience was with a really nice chileno living in Germany, and my various couches, mattresses, and floors have been open to countless surfers ever since.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In April of 2010 I spent 2 months in the UK. Although it was for work, I still had an incredible time as it was my first time out of my country. This opened my eyes to the rest of the world and since then, I haven't stopped wanting to see more.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will gladly teach any languages I know, which I love to practice anyway!

I can teach everything I know about film.

I can help hook up your television?

Umm...

I can teach you how to dance badly, which I do often and love it.

I like to cook with and for other people, but I take my time and enjoy the moment..

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories. I can share food and cook. Hopefully we can share a beer over some good conversation.

If you want something that I have, I probably won't mind sharing it :)
