I am a documentary filmmaker, photographer, and yoga teacher from Seattle, USA currently living and working in Berlin, Germany. Traveling the world is one of my greatest passions, and I'm always searching for exciting new destinations to explore and get to know. I enjoy making honest connections with locals and fellow travelers.

Along with filmmaking, portrait photography, and teaching yoga, I also love performing and watching live music (especially jazz, rnb, indie, and rock), going dancing, hiking and camping, road trips, social justice, visiting museums and art galleries, and wandering through the streets of new cities.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing to connect with kind and welcoming people where I travel, and to explore new destinations. When I am able to, I look forward to hosting other travelers in my home and extend the same gratitude I’ve received.
