Hello, my name is Tea and I'm an Orlando Beauty & Boudoir Portrait photographer whose goal is to help you celebrate the beauty in everything. In my personal time I explore and document abandoned buildings, as well as fellow dedicated artists who cosplay as their favorite characters.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Helping people has always been an active goal in my life and that's how I got so involved with the Hospitality industry. I've always been "that girl" who keeps extra toothbrushes and snacks for anyone who might want it and couchsurfing opens a world of opportunities to meet some amazing friends and connect with people on a higher level than renting a hotel.

As a photographer, I love exchanging stories and want to see more of this incredible planet we all share.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last year I hopped on a plane across the country alone for the first time to Nevada and experienced the best introduction to Couchsurfing a girl could hope for! I had the honor of being hosted by 3 remarkable local hosts who have become dear friends.

Helped organize an event for CSers from Las Vegas to Death Valley. Shared a car with four awesome guys I just met to explore the desert. Climbed along a waterfall at Ice Box canyon, got lost, and found our way back drenched in chilling water in the dark for miles. We trekked on by belting Disney songs with our new friends.

Attended WPPI Conference! 16,000 photographers under one roof. Such crazy fun! I got to share rooms with them.

Hosted commercial pilot from South Africa. Taren is so down to earth and compassionate!

Co-hosted Monthly CS Potluck with about 30 attendees

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning new skills and hearing stories from different people. I can share my knowledge of photography, experience with holistic medicine, and have a goal to teach English in South Korea after my Undergraduate studies.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook, sing, and show you how to look your best in every photograph in exchange for your couch.
