CURRENT MISSION

Photography, all day every day

ABOUT ME

My full name is Christopher Robert Whonsetler, friends call me Chris, and children in Guatemala call me WhonPhoto. Take your pick.

I’m a fairly sarcastic down to earth kind of guy with big ideas & ambitions. I will never be able to see enough of the world, I am always thinking about my next trip. A bit of a coffee snob, my favorite beans come from a friends family plantation in Guatemala. Treat me nice and I may give you a bag! I love to cook, am jealous of great painters and musicians, and most importantly love my wife Stephanie with all my heart!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love the idea of getting into wherever you are going. I don't want to stay at a hotel and watch HBO. I want to live the life of a local. I don't want to eat at McDonalds, show me something special that I'll never forget.
