CURRENT MISSION
Trying to find affordable, one night housing in Honolulu

ABOUT ME

I like trying new things and broadening my mind as much as I can. With no traveling experience what-so-ever, I bought a plane ticket to India, lived for seven months out of a backpack, and now I'm a certified wanderlust with no intention of returning to the US to live. Ever. I want to meet you and understand you. I can be a little shy at first, but get a few beers in me and we'll be alright.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone should be provided for and loved. There's no point in seeking advantage over others unless it's to give that advantage away, freely and without condescension.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed in the Czech Republic and Amsterdam and played tour guide numerous times in Vietnam. My apartment is a little small for hosting at the moment.

Interests

Film making and writing. But, on a day to day basis, I like drinking coffee and beer, eating good meals, laughing, reading, watching movies and wandering. Also dancing to electronic music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. Myself and two friends taught ourselves how to motorcycle in a couple days and then rode 400km through Nubra Valley in Kashmir India.

2. Myself and a friend volunteered for 5 weeks with a group of impoverished Nepali teenagers at the Eduvision NGO hostel in Hetauda Nepal. I've never met such kind, intelligent, fun, funny, humble, awesome kids in my life. Nepal is incredible and I recommend working with this NGO to get a real taste of it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've tutored writing for years right now and love doing it. I've gotten good at giving helpful feedback and leading people to being happier with the fruits of their writing efforts. I'm always happy to read and edit any English writing.

I've been making movies for about 9 years. I can teach you the basics of writing, cinematography, sound, and editing so that, with the right equipment, you can make movies independently.
