I love full moons behind tree branches, live music (especially funk flute and slap bass), vanilla beans, campfires, language, swimming, and podcasts about mycelia and trees.

I work as a videographer/film producer around the San Francisco Bay Area in California. I film and edit short web videos, supporting non-profit work, environmental conferences, campaigns, direct actions, and more. I also work on documentary films.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing.com was my boulevard to comfort and collaboration when I moved to Europe. It introduced me to amazing people, conversation, adventure, play, cities, bedrooms, and some of the most meaningful music of my life (my bands!).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hilarious bike rides, rockin' tin whistle solos, tasty dinners, music jams, city treasure hunts, wet tent festivals, and a mix of more backgrounds and languages than I can count on my fingers ... all leading to good friends, rich memories, newly-collected wisdoms, and wanting more!

Interests

Philosophical novels, profound one-liners, going to shows, making videos, dancing, singing, long walks on the beach and through the woods, photography, meeting new people, and sitting in warm cafes to ponder and write.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Nestled at night in the dunes on a shore of an island off the coast of The Netherlands, watching little lights dancing around the sands to soundscapes, with live wave crashes and bird calls, drinking Jägermeister.
