I've spent the last year traveling Korea and Southeast Asia - freelancing for cash while designing, building and filming with my virtual reality camera rig. Now I've landed a neat job in the Bay Area, so I'm switching back to the American lifestyle.

I'm passionate about virtual reality for its potential to connect people across distance and time - one of the first VR experiences I had was watching a guy play piano in his NYC loft. Really transportive! I felt like I was there hanging out with him.

That all in mind, I'm really interested in meeting new people and hopefully taking a short VR video clip to share with future hosts and surfers - sort of like a guest book (a 'host book') to document and share the places and personalities I encounter. If you don't want to be part of the host book, no worries, I'd still be happy to share some VR clips of past hosts, or of the places I traveled and filmed (Bangkok, Angkor Wat, Vietnam, Korea).

So, if you wanna host, we can talk travel or VR, I can show some futuristic video clips, and let you 'sign the host book' if you're interested :)

Cheers!
Jason
