I am a creative person; I'm a musician, video/photographer, and barber! I love traveling and seeing different cultures and worldviews, trying eccentric local food, and interacting with locals. I also love to read, especially books about self-development and philosophy/psychology. One such book I am currently reading is Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on here because a friend of mine suggested this as a very creative resource for travelers to get to meet other travelers and get connected to their destinations much deeper than just "traveling through".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've stood inside Notre Dame in Paris and admired it on one of the last days it would stand before the fire. Then, three days later, I stood with thousands of people and watched it burn in front of our eyes, while all around we were singing Ave Maria.
