Photographer on a mission of visiting the least visited corners of the world. I’m a young professional based in Washington but bouncing all over the world every week, working for one of the largest travel companies in the world. Soon to be nomadic! I’ve traveled to over 90 countries by myself over the last 3 years and am fascinated by remote, less traveled countries. I’m crazy passionate about connecting with others and capturing each areas beauty. Couch surfing is a nice resource as I want to immerse myself into each location from the get-go and experience them in an authentic manner seeing them from a local perspective while getting to meet interesting, diverse people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to connect with locals to see the true culture, lifestyle, beliefs, and taboos of an area!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:
- Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Legally Blonde, the Social Dilemma (outdated but I don’t actually watch that many movies to be honest 😬)
Books:
- How to Make Friends and Influence People, Range, Into the Wild
Music:
- I’m super diverse in my tastes and like to pick something up from everywhere I go as a “souvenir” so I have pretty much everything in my playlist!
- My favorite music genre is anything electronic: Odesza, Flume, Big Wild, etc. and reggaeton.
