CURRENT MISSION

to explore. to connect. to capture light in ways that move people. to be moved. to be still. to be free. to be me.

ABOUT ME

I am a free spirit. I sold my car for a fast motorcycle and never once regretted it. I have learned to pack light and only carry around what I can fit on my back. I love meeting new people, challenging myself in new ways, and seeing (better yet, capturing!) new things. Always in love with learning, I try to listen more than I talk; however, I am happy to teach others what I have learned over the years.

I am an adventurer at heart but I make my living as an artist-- specifically as a photographer. You can view my work on my website at www.charlesryanbarber.com

PHILOSOPHY

Life is as awesome as you want to make it. Personally, i'm going for full-awesome.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Working as a professional photographer and videographer, I travel all the time. Why stay at a pricey and cold hotel by yourself when you can get out and meet great people?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am relatively new to couchsurfing.com, but long before this awesome website was created, I was both hosting and surfing the old-school way. It's a great experience (almost) every time!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trekking across the Sahara Desert on camel is pretty much where it's at, ya'll. I'd rather swap stories in person though!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a total camera nerd and a fairly big Apple Computer junkie as well. I will gladly teach you whatever you want to know (and probably a lot of other crazy stuff you may or may not). If you want to know the kind of camera you should buy, or how to capture the particular image you are seeking, ask me!
