Hey, I'm a photographer out of Southern California. I love paintball, all kinds of action and sports photography, and a bunch of other stuff. I've had a moderate amount of traveling experience in the past few years. It has motivated me to go out and do what I am scared of doing: getting out of my comfort zone. And to do that, I must find ways to not only get around, but places I can stay once I have gotten somewhere!

If you are nice enough to allow me to stay with you, rest assured that you will barely know I am there! I respect that you are taking a chance by letting people into your home and I am extremely appreciative if I happen to be one of those people!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I want to see the world around me and to do that, you usually need money. I don't have a lot of money so I am looking for alternatives to expensive hotels and mite ridden hostels. Hahaha!

音乐、电影和书籍

My favorite movie is probably a three way tie between Princess Mononoke, Saving Private Ryan, and 500 Days of Summer.

My musical tastes are very erratic. Sometimes I am very content with the top 40 radio hits. Other times I look for more alternative rock, hip hop, and soundtrack music. I usually like to sing along to Wicked: The Musical, The Nightmare Before Christmas, or Phantom of the Opera :D

As a former university student, I am still recovering my love of literature. As of now, I only read books that are related to photography, politics, or some kind of art.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I have dropped into the splits while simultaneously juggling three balls. (I used to be a contortionist for my local circus club)

I have gone bungie jumping!

I have fought a tree and lost(ask me about it, unless you are squeamish. It beat me up pretty bad).

教，学，和分享

I'm not exactly sure what I am supposed to put here.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Photography! Have you ever wanted a nice portrait of yourself that looks like it WASN'T TAKEN BY A PHONE? Maybe you have wanted a collection of photographs with you and your significant other? Or maybe you need help taking good pictures of stuff you need to sell on Ebay? That's where I come in! I've got years of both volunteer and professional experience as a photographer.

I'm not a photographer who only has a phone camera and only posts to instagram(not that there's anything wrong with that ;), I use professional level gear and push myself to be of a professional caliber.

Or I can help out with whatever else needs doing! I am good with kids! I worked for two years at a summer school as a teacher assistant. I'm good with pets! I grew up with two dogs and a chinchilla.

I would love to share my skills with anyone who is kind enough to help me in return!
