ABOUT ME

Hi All,

So it's been a while since I have been on this site. I kind of forgot about it and assumed that if anyone sent me couch requests I would get an email notification. Apparently I turned that setting off. I am so sorry if I did not reply to you. I am back on though and will try to be better about this. So request away. :)

So you want to know about me. Well my name is Jesse. I am a filmmaker, currently living in Washington, DC.

I love meeting new people, seeing new places, trying new things and experiencing new culture.

I'm pretty politically active and will always entertain a conversation or even a friendly argument over drinks or a meal.

I try to order the most obscure item on any restaurant menu, provided it is not from the sea.

PHILOSOPHY

"Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort."- Franklin D. Roosevelt

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in a basement apartment of a house in a nice DC neighborhood. I have one roommate and can host a limited amount of people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have Couch Surfed in Istanbul and Nice but I'm pretty new at this. So far my travels have consisted of taking advantages of hostels.
