Animator. Music maker. Film lover. Semi-Professional bug catcher. Rock climber.

I spend most of my free time working on creative projects, band practice, watching movies with my dogs, rock climbing, or going to my favorite jazz bar.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For obvious reasons... making new friends, exploring new cultures, and traveling on a budget.

Interests

I'm pretty good at...
Learning languages. Organizing travel itineraries. Being organized in general. Doodling. Catching and identifying insects. Procrastinating. Writing songs with terrible lyrics. Smash bros.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a year living in Spain as an English teacher. I'd say that was one of the best experiences of my life so far!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd be happy to share the knowledge I've gained from my film studies and my independent insect studies. We can also grab a couple of instruments and teach other some songs. Or, if you like I can train you on how to use various multimedia programs -- Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Flash, Final Cut Pro, etc..
