CURRENT MISSION

Create and Inspire

ABOUT ME

My name is Kim. I'm a photographer, writer, filmmaker, teacher, traveler, yogini and food & wine enthusiast, who currently resides in Central Florida. I live life with an open mind and heart and feel most alive when traveling and meeting and sharing experiences with others.

I take a lot of energy from nature. Whenever possible I will spend time being outdoors doing yoga, hiking, surfing, kayaking, etc. I like moving my body and being very active.

I'm an aspiring filmmaker and would like to focus on making documentaries. I'm also a freelance writer and photographer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm in the process of relocating, so unfortunately I am unable to host at the moment. I'm looking forward to hosting surfers and will be doing it the first chance I get.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I recently took a cross country road trip from Orlando to San Francisco with one of my best friends. We stayed with hosts all a long the way to California. She was a surfer and I was not, so these were my first experiences using couch surfing. I was blown a way by the experience. After the trip was over, there was no way I could not join CS. It was already a part of me. I feel blessed to have met the people I did on my journey. They were all just friends I hadn't met yet. I'm hoping that will be the first of many experiences to come.
