CURRENT MISSION

To photograph and timelapse my way through Europe while meeting cool people along the way

ABOUT ME

I am easygoing, helpful, respectful and clean. I am very patient, and I LOVE TO TEACH!

I am very passionate about photography (timelapse, portraits, macro, landscapes, light paintings etc.), art (drawing, painting, design), food and culture.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life based on my blood type... be positive. I live to learn, and love to live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since I am writing this before I have officially crashed on any couches, it is hard to say exactly how I am participating. My hope is to meet people from all over the world, to teach and to be taught, and to utilize my camera and my skills to cement special moments/places/experiences in time. I would love to see my destinations from the eyes of a local and have a place to stay. I will lend my couch and knowledge of Los Angeles to couch surfers once I return.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had an exchange student from Malaysia stay with me on my couch for 3 months! He turned out to be one of my best friends in the world and I am visiting him in Scotland this June!
