CURRENT MISSION Travel the world and document what I find through word, photographs, and video. ABOUT ME I'm currently working as a TV photojournalist based in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and, like many on here, I have a penchant for traveling! I'd like to end up someday working as a foreign correspondent for US media - so America knows what's going on in the rest of the weird, wonderful world. I like traveling, beer, good music (see below), the issues and effects surrounding legal 420 (I am from Colorado, after all), meeting new people, learning about other cultures, going places I shouldn't, developing my own film, riding bikes, and adventuring in the wilderness. I've also recently taken up kayaking, so if you're into kayak/canoe/SUPing, let's get out on the water!

Почему я на Couchsurfing

Одно удивительное, что я сделал
Stood in both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. That's pretty big for me, having been born in a landlocked state and all.
Учить, учиться, делиться
I know a teachable amount about: - photography - video production - journalism in its various forms - travel logistics (I can book you pretty much anything short of the Transsiberian) - computer hardware and how to build/repair it - light coding (mostly OS level terminal stuff, primarily OS X/Linux but some Windows) - DIY automobile mechanics (mostly Subaru but some BMWs and Hondas also) I would love to learn more about: - Linguistics - Botany - Medicine - Audio engineering - Cooking - Outdoors/wilderness skills - FLYING (if you can hook me up w flying lessons/plane rides we will be besties forever)
