Like most people on here, I love adventure, meeting new people, seeing new places, and experiencing new cultures. I make videos for a living. I love being behind the camera especially when filming documentaries - recently I started a travel vlog and am in front of the camera too. Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/tedwillistube .

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To truly know a place, you have to know the people. I want to get to know this world by getting to know the people in it. As I visit new cities around the world I am on a quest to be a "student of the vulnerable." There are folks in marginalized situations all over this planet and this isn't limited to financial vulnerability. I am seeking out inspirational and redemptive stories from people groups that are on the fringes. Maybe it is refugees in Europe, disabled children in the Middle East, or migrant workers in Asia. Vulnerability knows no borders. I have a hunch I could learn a lot from people in really hard circumstances. So, I'm traveling around filming a travel vlog on YouTube and hunting for compelling documentary stories. I don't have much of a budget so I'd really like to sleep on your couch and get to know your city.

Interests

I love being outside. I'll drive my Jeep around in the dessert, hike canyons and creeks, camp on mountain tops and I could lay on the beach for days.

I'm not a good dancer but I love to learn. I also think dance is one of the best ways to get to know a culture.

One of my favorite things to do is find the best places to eat in the cities I go to. More local, the better.
