About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Reaching my fullest potential as a human, and spreading positivity to everyone I encounter in this journey of life!

ABOUT ME
There’s rarely a dull moment in my life these days, as I’ve somehow managed to achieve what I never dreamed was possible, and gain extreme satisfaction with what l have.
First and foremost, I could not be more grateful for all the wonderful friends I have made thru traveling and at home, and there is no doubt I wouldn’t be where I am today without them. Human connection is the most important goal of mine, and without it I wouldn’t exist. I thrive by making everyone’s day just a little bit better than it was before, and would do anything within my capabilities to make that possible.
With that said my passion for cinema has led me down the path of working the film festival circuit, and the opportunities are only getting greater and more frequent. I’m often traveling all over the US as a result, and hope the road will soon bring me to film and music festivals outside the US. I’m constantly on the hunt for the next exciting adventure, and forging lasting connections wherever I go!
When I’m at home I spend most of my days with all the wonderful friends I have, and making everyday the best day it could possibly be. I also love the being in the outdoors, camping, hiking, swimming, beaches, going out to dinner, grabbing drinks, attending concerts, listening to vinyl and going to record stores in all the various cities I visit, reading books, and spending lots of time working out at the gym and doing yoga.
I’m a huge animal lover, and will never turn down an opportunity to walk a dog, or chill with a cat.
I could probably list many more things here, but I’d rather not become redundant. Ask me anything you like, and I’d be more than happy to share with you!

PHILOSOPHY
Be kind and open minded, judge no one, live like theres no tommorow, and don't stress about the little things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE
When I do have a window of opportunity to host, I’m more than happy to share my space and time with fellow Couchsurfers, and would love to show you a good time around the area.
I also love finding hosts in other cities that I travel to, and aim to be the best houseguest during my visit. It’s one of the most rewarding ways to travel, and meet locals, even if it’s just a hangout.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
It’s been a while since I’ve hosted, or successfully found a host, but the encounters I’ve had so far have all been wonderful and memorable, and would love to have more Couchsurfing experiences in the near future.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: David Bowie is God, and all others are his mere angels:)
This list could be endless as well, but love the Talking Heads, Velvet Underground, Blondie, Fleetwood Mac, Radiohead, Thom Yorke, Panda Bear, Animal Collective, Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, Daft Punk, Justice, Four Tet, Burial, Karen O, Dangermouse, Flume, Emancipator, Bonobo, Jamie XX, MGMT, Tame Impala, Odesza, Above & Beyond, and virtually all of the Anjunafamily artists.
I love a great remix album, as well as a great movie or TV soundtrack, and this list could be endless but I should stop before I get too carried away:)

Movies: Anything by David Lynch, John Waters, Wes Anderson, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Martin Scorsese.
Holy Mountain, The Lobster, Velvet Goldmine, The Man Who Fell To Earth, The Labyrinth, The Hunger, Showgirls, and lots of underground cult classics. I’m excessively intrigued by The Room, and have no explanation why, except for it’s utter lack of self awareness.

TV: Arrested Development, Schitts Creek, Weeds, Ab Fab, Westworld, Game of Thrones, The Wire, Parks and Recreation, The Good Place, Bored to Death, and High Maintenance.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Scuba diving in Hawaii with a friend.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Happy to contribute in any way I can as a guest, by taking you out to dinner, grabbing drinks, or even offering monetary compensation for your hospitality.
I’m very self reliant and can easily entertain myself, and certainly don’t expect anyone to have to bend over backward to accommodate me in anyway. I’m also extremely considerate of your time, and place, and more than happy to help out in capacity given. I can be as socially interactive and engaged as needed, but have no intention or desire to consume all of your time while visiting.
