Hi there! I am a videographer/film freak and a music enthusiast (particularly independent and folk music.) I'm a goofball (and I hope you are too-my favorite (and only) workout is laughing until I am weak. ) But that side of me is tempered by a genuine interest in connecting and learning and sharing new perspectives.
I would love to go to concerts, the cinema, or lounge about in cafes if our interests match up!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am couch surfing for the potential of gaining more personal relationships with people during my travels, and maybe even making some good friends along the way! I am a solo traveler, so this aspect of my trip is important to me. Being around fun, genuine people as I look for jobs is the ideal situation!
