About Me

Filmmaker-turned-traveler. I'm combining the best of both worlds by creating documentaries when I travel. 2015-2016 will be my biggest project yet (see below). I am extremely easy-going with a passion for spontaneity. My next big adventure will be on my motorcycle, so definitely hit me up if you've got an interest in biking through Russia, China, South America or Africa!

Also, I will at least respond to every single message that is sent to me, whether it be a request or anything else!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and do it as often as I can. I just started hosting now that I'm settled in Los Angeles, so I can't wait to meet some fellow travelers!

My brother and I traveled around the world for 10 months in 2015-16. We hit about 32 countries on the trip! Our goal was to shoot a documentary about traveling cheap while meeting as many cool people as we could. I'm happy to say that we more than succeeded in doing so. We made so many great friendships and didn't break the bank doing so.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have known my five best friends since we were all five years old. Every year since high school each of us take time off from whatever we're doing and we all go on a trip together. The goal is to see all 50 states, so far we have 37!

Teach, Learn, Share
