About Me

I'm a filmmaker and writer from the US currently traveling the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been on Couchsurfing since it started, and have always appreciated what it had to offer.

I stayed with a couple in Cambridge, England, and had a great time, and have hosted people when I've been able. Also, I stayed with someone in Lugano and Zurich, respectively.
