I’m originally from Georgia and now live in the United States. I’m a lawyer with a Master’s degree from Chicago-Kent College of Law, and I currently lead the EB department at a large law firm. It’s demanding work, but I truly enjoy it.

I love filmmaking (I’ve shot two short films), photography, and music. Techno has a special place in my heart - I go to raves when I can, and I’ve even tried DJing a few times just for fun.

I’m someone who enjoys meaningful conversations, good energy, and people who are curious about life. I believe every person has a story worth hearing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people, exchange stories, and experience different perspectives. I believe connections with strangers often turn into the most memorable moments.

Music, Movies, and Books

Interstellar is my comfort movie, I can rewatch it anytime and it still hits the same. But most of the time I’m chasing European and Asian cinema, the kind of films that stay in your head for days. I love directors like Michael Haneke, Asghar Farhadi, and Akira Kurosawa, Wong Kar-wai, Tarkovsky, Bergman, Kieslowski …

Some movies I keep coming back to: Winter Sleep, Amour, The Secret in Their Eyes, Barry Lyndon, In the Mood for Love, A Separation, Cache, Stalker, Three Colors, Oldboy, Burning, Turtles Can Fly …

For TV, I’m loyal to Game of Thrones, True Detective (Season 1), and Dark 👌

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It’s not one dramatic “jump off a cliff” kind of thing, but something I’m genuinely proud of: I moved to the United States two years ago and started my life from zero. New country, new system, new everything - totally outside my comfort zone.
