I am a free bird. :)
My passion is people. I love meeting new people and getting immersed into new interesting cultures.

I use photography as my gateway to connect with the world around me. Inspired by my great grandfather, Dennis Stock, who was a famous photographer; I started photography at 12 years old and never stopped!

My main focus now is to travel and photograph diverse cultures and indigenous communities around the world. Papua New Guinea, Ethiopia, Sudan, Mongolia are some of the places I would like to go next!

I have been traveling throughout the world documenting Humanity and sharing very wonderful experiences with others around the world. I don't make many plans, I travel with the wind.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

To have an authentic experience of the places I visit. I don't want to be a tourist when I travel, I want to experience and understand the culture and what it is to be living as a local. Don’t take me to the touristy places, take me to your grandmas house! I love experiencing the off beaten path or better yet, the path never traveled. I’m on couch surfing to meet incredible interesting people! :)

Intereses

I am a lover of wine and sunflowers. Along with photography, I also love to paint. Any artistic project I can be working on that allows me to express myself is an environment I thrive!

I have such a love for elderly people; the wisdom, the jokes, and my favorite is their wrinkles!

I love live music and dancing. I typically travel solo allowing me to get experience many new things without having my comfort bubble of a travel group.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Traveled to Bosnia at 16 years old to photograph the people of Bosnia.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

The world is a reflection of ourselves, every human is a mirror. I believe we all teach and learn from everyone around us.

I love connecting to others and hearing about their lives and points of view. Having mind expanding conversations while sharing a bottle of wine is one of the best ways to spend an evening. 🌻🐣🍷

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I can share my smile and thoughts with you. I love to converse and experience an adventure! No matter where I am, in my home town or across the world, I think you should always continue to discover the things around you.
