I'm a 31-year-old guy originally from the South now living in NYC/LA working in video production. I love traveling and I'm always happy to make new friends. :) I'm hoping to meet new people all over the globe in my travels.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To travel and see destinations through the lens of a local's view, and to make a lot of friends along the way! And hopefully reciprocate should any friend visit NYC/LA.

Interests

I have a lot of hobbies, but to name a few: Cooking, yoga, going out with friends, reading, rock climbing, swimming, tennis, working out, writing, music and music festivals.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once biked 109 miles across Northern California to the Pacific Coast in 2 days. Quite a trek!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm currently learning French and want to learn how to sail, windsurf, and a few other languages. I can teach how to cook, make a digital video, anything about NYC, and help with video editing and/or writing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Friendship, booze, sharp cooking skills and hopefully a place to stay in return!
