About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Surf and be Surfed, learn and be learned

ABOUT ME

I'm a 26 year old photographer and videographer from Boston. I do what I love full time for a career and it's awesome. I love to travel and learn about other cultures through firsthand experience. I'm also a bit of an adventurous eater so I make sure to sample some of the wilder dishes everywhere I go. I like to think I'm an easy going person who can get along well with others. I value experience over material possessions and I'd much rather make a little money doing what I love than make a lot of money doing something I don't.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed and met some incredibly kind and generous people, I hope that when I have a couch available I can return the favors.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was lucky enough to travel around Europe and North Africa for about 2 months, mostly survived by couch surfing with people. The generosity and kindness of complete strangers was amazing. I never had a problem, and all the people I stayed with were awesome!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just got finished traveling around Europe and North Africa for 2 months, after spending 4 months working and living in Italy. I went to 13 cities, 14 countries and it was an incredible experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love the opportunity to help anyone who is interested in learning more about photography or cinema or art in general. I've learned a bit of Italian living here in Italy for the past few months, and I suppose I could teach you some must-know-phrases if you'd like!
