I grew up in San Francisco and moved to Chicago in 2013 for my studies. I am a filmmaker, photographer and outdoorsman. I love to read new books, eat new foods and explore just about anywhere. I can't sit still and have an absolute love for music, even though I can't play it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel the world! I'm incredibly fortunate to grow up where I did, and I will always call it home. However, now I am at a time in my life where I want to explore as much as possible and push myself our of my comfort zone. If I could, I would travel everywhere, but Europe seemed like good place to start. I am going to be traveling alone, and there is no better way to get a to know a culture than by meeting the people that actually live there. When I found out about couch surfing, it was EXACTLY what I was looking for. A chance to share and grow with strangers.
