CURRENT MISSION

To discover the magic of film and communicate that to others. To love my neighbor and learn from cultures other than my own.

ABOUT ME

I am a graduate student currently pursuing my Masters in Arts Journalism. I'm a film buff and have been writing and podcasting about film for the past ten years. I'm in the process of starting my own business, Film Geek Radio, a network of podcasts focused on film and television criticism.

Travel has been a major part of my life. My parents are missionaries, and I lived overseas in Central America for eight years. I've also been to China multiple times and worked in several parts of the United States. I love getting to know people from all cultures and backgrounds!

PHILOSOPHY

"If there's any kind of magic in this world it must be in the attempt of understanding someone sharing something. I know, it's almost impossible to succeed but who cares really? The answer must be in the attempt." --Before Sunrise

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I currently am not in a position to host, though I would if I could! I usually just need a place to crash when I travel to film festivals and other events.
