Hey there! I'm Basil, a wanderlust-driven photographer and videographer who’s always on the lookout for my next adventure. I capture the world through my lens, whether it’s the golden hour in a bustling city or a hidden gem deep in the mountains. My camera is like my third arm — and trust me, it gets around! 📸🎥

When I’m not behind the lens, I’m probably out exploring new cultures, trying the local food (yes, I’ll take the spicy one!), or losing myself in the charm of a new place. I’ve got an eye for details, whether it’s the perfect shot or the coolest spot to chill. Let’s just say, I’m the guy who will help you find the best angle for that perfect shot of your city. 🤳

I’m all about connecting with locals, sharing stories, and maybe even making a fun video about it (don’t worry, I promise not to film you mid-bite). I’m always up for new experiences, whether it's hiking through the desert or getting lost in a city’s back alleys.

If you’re down for some laughs, a good story, and possibly a spontaneous photo shoot or video project, let’s connect! I’m excited to meet new people and share the beauty of our travels.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m here because I believe that travel isn’t just about the places you visit, but the people you meet along the way. Couchsurfing gives me the chance to connect with more people with similar interests, experience cultures through authentic interactions, and, of course, learn from the experiences! I love sharing stories, laughs, and exploring new places.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Nothing specific, more into calming acoustic, I like to listen to Spanish music but mostly into podcasts...

Movies: Romantic, Action, Crime, comedy and thriller. More of a Marvels guy than > DC. Fav Series are : Breaking Bad, Beef, You, Stranger Things, and the list goes on...

Books: I gravitate toward travel journals, adventure books, or anything that pushes boundaries. The Alchemist and Vagabonding are two that always get me dreaming of new places to explore.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my best experiences was filming a horror movie in the desert — It was a true test of patience, as that day we ended up not being able to go home and was stuck in desert because of sandstorm. Later around 4 am, a donkey came and pulled our tents, ate our food and made the craziest noice that freaked the hell out of us lol. But overall, it was FUN.

Teach, Learn, Share

Always read to teach, learn & share! :D

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a whole lot of laughs, some killer photography tips, and possibly a new appreciation for the art of videography. If you’re up for an impromptu photo session or want some cool travel stories, I’ve got plenty to share.
