About Me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to be able to travel the world but really become immersed in the culture by being with locals. Not accepting guests right now because I do not have a place to have people currently.

Interests

I am interested in creating films and capturing nature and different aspects of life, especially music. My favorite element is being outdoors, backpacking and camping to really be immersed in nature and appreciate its beauty. Skiing is something I love to do when I can, also love just road tripping to various places.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the best experiences thus far in my life would have to be the road trip to Bonnaroo Music Festival in Tennessee from California. My two friends and I went to Zion National Park, Horseshoe Bend, Monument Valley, through Colorado, a random place in Missouri, then had amazing food in Kansas City and St. Louis. Got to Bonnaroo for 4 days of amazing music and amazing people, headed back on a more southern route, going through Texas and New Mexico and ending the trip with a day in Grand Canyon, National Park.

A second place, close tie: I recently went to the South of Chile, in Patagonia to trek the W-route of Torres Del Paine. It was the most incredible backpacking experience I have ever had, really appreciated being in nature and just seeing some of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen.
