About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to live and learn.

ABOUT ME

I'm a documentary filmmaker and educator currently working on a transmedia project looking at street art in the Philippines. I love traveling - the places I've been have impacted my life and worldview in incredible ways, and I'm always jonesing for the next trip.

PHILOSOPHY

Try to approach people with an attitude of love and forgiveness, and take in experiences with an open mind.

I'm (sometimes overly) passionate about things I believe in and sometimes quick to judge, but I do try and follow that advice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted several groups in Albany, a few in Winston-Salem, and look forward to hosting again when I have an apartment in the Bay Area of my own. Only surfed a few times but had great experiences!

Every hosting and surfing experience I've had has been extremely postive! I love meeting new people, however briefly.
