I'm a photojournalist, videographer,and founder of Humanizing Through Story with a passion toward social justice, environmental protection, and humanitarian work. And live out of a 95 GMC van ful time traveling and telling storiea. I grew up on a state park in SC (Table Rock), studies intercultural studies in college. I have a huge heart for people and love experiencing and exploring new places in new cultures. I'm always up for an adventure in the mountains or just in general. I've worked as a barista for 5 plus years at third wave coffee shops.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel a good bit while doing photojournalism and just in general. Doing couchsurfing is just a great way to meet amazing people and make connections around the country and around the world. Don't see any other way to travel! Once in a while need a break from my van with a hot shower or just tobplu up my van to shore power.
