Hello!

I'm an American artist who has been traveling the US and China since 2009.
For work I do a mix of video game development and freelance commercial film production.
For seven years I have been pursuing my art in the form of film, music, graphic design, and most recently games.
In the US I live in my converted Sprinter Van and/or off the grid in various places in the west.
I recently finished a film project and have decided to start the next chapter of my life by exploring new territory in Europe and Asia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When exploring new places, I wouldn't want anything else but to meet and live with locals. There's no better way to get to know a place and a culture than to spend time with those who know it best.

Interests

I'm interested in anything that allows me to create or experience art in any way.
Any new adventure is always welcome too.
