I love backpacking and taking pictures. I shoot movies for a living and play guitar for fun. Not a workaholic but will go the extra mile to create something great.

New York's home but I go camping and backpacking as much as possible during summer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mostly because I cannot go travel as much as I used to so I wanna meet people who are still on the road and share the stories with them. Also, I wanna give back to the community that have been really nice to me when I was backpacking years ago.
