A growing videographer; lover of discovery. Getting good at telling the stories of artists (painters, sculptures, muralists, machinists). I've mostly grown up in Hawaii, pulling prototypes and tendencies from the inspiring and forever try to surrounded myself with perspective. Taking a Korean language crash course as that's the next home base destination here soon! Always interested and improving.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

High risk/ reward! We learn fast and uncover lots in the unfamiliar. There are an infinite number things and I'm too curious? I'm always on the go, would stoked to find other surfers that like to ride too : ) I'm new at this but I pick up things quickly. Alsooo, my friend's in SF fell through and I'm headed in for an exciting work trip with plenty of time in to go capture the things in between. A fan of the unexpected, so an Airbnb just seems monotonous on this trip. Until I get verified (sooon, I will), Instagram? @matt_nelms
