ABOUT ME

I am a 29 year old male. Studied photography at La Guardia college in Long Island City. I work as a photographer shooing Fine art and fashion. Lately I have been shooting weddings and maternity as well. I work as a bike messenger to make ends meet with Breakaway Couriers. I have decided to take my opportunities lately to travel as much as possible, learn cultures, languages and photograph as much as I can. I am biking this september from Venice to Paris and I am nervous about how the trip will go especially places to stay and rest. But I will remain positive. My travel blog is stevenlopezphoto.blogspot.com

PHILOSOPHY

The will to power is the fuel to continue forward and I intend to exert my will with my fullest effort.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have moved around alot but I am finally stable for the moment and located in Central Manhattan N.Y. I am now able to host even though my living space is the smallest space you can possibly imaging. I am not exaggerating. I am happy to participate by bringing people in as I had the opportunity in my travels and continue to spread the love.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had Amazing Couch surfing experiences all over Paris . It was outstanding and inspiring. Hopefully I can give someone the same feeling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last year I bicycled 1,400 miles in 9 days from Venice to Paris. Before I have never left the U.S and I did not speak Italian or French. I was lost the entire time and This expedition was made with the very bare minimum. I have some of the most beautiful memories that still make me smile to this day.
