I am a passionate individual. Everything I love is connected to some form of creation (nature, art, fashion, evolution). I was born and raised in New York City but currently touring Japan as a Broadcast Journalist in the United States Air Force [join my professional network : https://www.linkedin.com/in/genesistejada].

My current mission is to explore the world of self-care, to connect with people and share cultures from across the globe, explore the art and music scenes of different towns and find places to photograph for my continuing life travel photo project.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I helped host about 20-30 people from around the world when I lived with my sister (CS Username: PAULINABHG) the summer of 2013. I was in school but when I was home I went out with some surfers for lunch, helped them plan their itineraries and suggested places for them to visit in the city and other boroughs. I surfed to California twice and made some lifelong friends. I'm looking forward to continue surfing and hopefully go across the globe.

Interests

I love the outdoors; biking, skating, beaches, people watching and photographing people in their environments. I also love traveling, connecting and collaborating with other artists, going to concerts, viewing art, fashion, design and architecture, among so many others.

Music, Movies, and Books

Some of my favorite movies include The Radiant Child (2010), Save the Last Dance (2001), Inception (2010), The Warriors (1979), Taxi Driver (1976), Annie Hall (1977), 500 Days of Summer (2009) among so many others. I love underground Hip-Hop, Alternative/Indie Rock, Classical/Classical Piano, Jazz and I love going to concerts and listening to music live.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going to and photographing the Dominican Republic for Spring Break and adding it to my photo project was one of my favorite experiences by far because it allowed me to add a lot of meaning to my work and look at the environments/communities I am a part of in a more intricate and meaningful way. I cant wait to continue traveling and adding the rest of the world to my lifelong photo project.
