Overview
About Me
Practical/Lifestyle:
Currently traveling trying to connect with people who made video and media art. I don't smoke. If I go out over staying in with my laptop or a good book I'll have 1 drink max, but I may dance for hours.
RECENTLY: For the past 4 months I've been traveling around the east coast writing, vlogging, and helping artists develop their businesses.
MY STORY: I grew up on an intentional community in Virginia (US), and also lived with my mom all around the east coast as well as hawaii. Most of my professional life has been in Sales, now I'm working in Media and travel, which is pretty easy seeing as I own very little.
What I'm about: I make videos, and I write. Generally enjoy exploring, new places, ideas, and ways of thinking. The people and the conversations are what make the place interesting to me. Business fascinates me, and I'm quick to jump in and help where I can.
Helping people and enjoying myself is my main prerogative.
I'm happy to work or help around the house.
I have an opinion about EVERYTHING, but I might not voice it unless you ask. My friends tell me I'm a good conversationalist.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Because meeting people and exchanging stories, wisdom, knowledge, and experience is bounds more interesting and wonderful than staying in a hotel.
I find people that have houses might have projects that I enjoy helping with.
Interests
I'm basically into anything that helps me develop myself, or those around me. Who I'm with is often more important than what I'm doing.
I'll play any sport or do any activity, I'll try any board game, I'll pick up a book about anything and start reading it.
Mental-I like board games, card games, anything that makes me think in a new way. Grew up playing a bit with my family.

I think I skipped class to read Gone Girl for a few days straight (I'm not a fast reader)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Successfully lived in tents and on the road all accross the US, including a tent in a blueberry field in Maine when I was very young.
Graduating Business school in an expensive competitive city felt pretty good.
Helping those around me on a day to day basis takes the cake.
Teach, Learn, Share
Computer skills: Excel, Acces, various other things (I'm pretty good with computers, and good at problem solving)
Social media: Very Adept
Business Development: Good deal of experience. This is a major skillset of mine.
I'd love to film something for you! Or record you, or experience your art in whatever form that takes.
