ABOUT ME

In my life I continue to search for the new, I strive to discover and learn as much as I can because just about everything interests me. As a photographer, I choose to document people because to me, they are the strangest and most fascinating of all living things. I thrive in new environments and among people whoa are different from me.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat people with respect and dignity, harm nothing and no one, travel through life with humility and generosity, follow my dreams and take chances!!! I strive to always be ready for the new and wonderful things that life brings my way.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Today we live in a world in which social interactions and relationships no longer hold high value. Corporate profit rules over governments and ethics have gone down the drain. At this time more than ever we need to bring together people from all over the world to share with one another. Couch Surfing is a fantastic tool for this purpose and I am truly excited to be a part of this community without borders.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met lovely people through CS and have hosted a few. All my experiences have been very positive and I am very glad to continue meeting great people through this site. Before I knew about CS, I hosted several people in Brazil and California.

兴趣

I am interested in People - meeting and photographing them, understanding their point-of-view and their little corner of the world. I am also an avid cook, I love to prepare and share a meal in great company. I am interested in all art forms.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Hanging out of a helicopter flying low over the peaks of the Napali Coast in Kauai with my camera. Living in secluded village in the middle of the Sri Lankan jungle for six months. Looking in the infinite eyes of the man I love.
