CURRENT MISSION

eat well in far away places with rad people.

ABOUT ME

i'm a hollywood film concept designer (do a lot of futuristic and sci fi films - avatar, man of steel jurassic world etc)
super easy going. love food and music and traveling!

i went to a lot of international schools growing up so i guess thats where i got my travel bug.
i've lived in 8 countries (us, canada, england, china, taiwan, korea, hong kong, and thailand) and traveled to over 60.

i dont surf to save money. i can afford hotels. i am always considerate of my hosts and will usually offer to take you out to a meal or drinks in appreciation and comradery. i actually want to get to know local culture and people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
