About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm a native Californian and live in West Bath, Maine. I do mostly visual effects work from home, and occasionally produce my own films. My girlfriend is a violist that plays professionally in a string quartet. We love Maine, but it can get dull sometimes in a town of about 5000, so we enjoy meeting interesting people from away. Come visit. We are both creative, and easy going people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Although I joined CS a few years ago, I'm just starting to explore the concept more thoroughly, and have enjoyed my experience thus far. I hope to surf and host more often as I can see this is a great way to enrich one's life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Limited but great so far.

Interests

My interest are many and wide ranging. I've been sailing for 3 years and love to kayak around the islands near our house. I hike and swim, but I can also sit at the piano for hours and practice a Bach partita. I enjoy and need cultural experiences such as going to museums and concerts. I love nature, cinema, cooking, wine, music, traveling, and conversation. I have an insatiable, curious mind and love to learn new things.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love foreign films and the occasional hollywood blockbuster, but I find that I watch mostly documentaries. I like most types of music, but play mostly classical on the piano.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sailing up the coast of Maine for week on beautiful yacht.

I'm fluent in Spanish and love to teach others. I can also teach people how to sail or play the piano.
