About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Traveling Europe this summer for first time!

ABOUT ME

When I can host I'm interested in meeting cool people and showing them around to Buffalo's favorite spots.

As an artist I like to research media culture and science. Here is a silly student "art" short I did about natural vs processed food: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_bLmQbu8F8

My job in Buffalo is film production for when movies visit my town to get made, here is the latest one coming out July 4th!

PHILOSOPHY

Always thinking about art and communicating visually. Attempted humor in most circumstances.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

UPDATE: This summer for first time I am going to try to couch surf in Europe!

In Buffalo:

I can drive to some awesome places in the area, many to choose from depending on time constraints. Hike, party scene, downtown, events, 6 Flags theme park, tons of historical stuff, Niagara Falls, huge art scene, waterfront, there is a lot going on around here usually.

I prefer to focus on the Buffalo area for guests. Sorry, Toronto is too far.
