ABOUT ME

I live and study in Minsk, Belarus but grew up in America.
Love people. Love movies.

Couchsurfing has shaped me into who I am!
There's simply no better way to step right into a persons life than to just sleep on their couch.

For now,

I am an art student, will be for years to come. Someday I hope to teach and ill be learning even then.
Love everything to do with filmmaking.

On my way forward, to and from Belarus where we've got a great film crew!

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live by understanding but I always keep telling myself I know very little, so my philosophy isn't a what but a when, based on a given moment, I feel a certain way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to travel and experience immersion in another place, getting out of my comfort zone is my comfort zone. Shooting a travel Vlog.

My dream is to host when I move out, to have people to show around as I have been shown around

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Sleeping outside, that's happened. I've had my passport stolen and had to make my way to an American embassy in an unknown country and also have met amazingly interesting people.

Amazing, awesome and incredible. This site brings the best possibilities to the table and I'm fortunate when I land anything. Bill is a lifelong friend ( I met in and was hosted by in Los Angeles)
My memory of Chicago is awakened quite frequently.
I love the opportunity granted here

Interests

Right now I work alot and have a chance for studying abroad. I Attend college doing my basics while making art, drawing and working on a portfolio. I love to read when I can and eat, go out when the chance comes about.
