Just a 20-year-old kid on a mission to travel the world and meet amazing people.

Moved around a lot growing up and never really had a real "home." Spent a majority of my time in the Bay Area (Silicon Valley) in Northern California.

Spent most of my childhood and teens training to achieve my goal of becoming a professional baseball player.

Since then I've redirected my efforts toward my passion for filmmaking, photography, and online media. I'm very curious and openminded, love to read all sorts of things and have meaningful conversations!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I've had a huge love for travel since I was a kid. I truly 100% want to explore the whole world!!

Nothing makes me happier than meeting and making friends from all parts of the world.

I'm on Couchsurfing because I believe adventures only come to those who are adventurous. I'm out to live a life full of unforgettable experiences and have an endless sight for new adventures.

Also, love to dive into new cultures, meet awesome new individuals, and EAT FOOD! and listen to great music of course. I love everything related to the arts. Fashion, music, film, I'm all about that stuff.

Also on Couchsurfing, bc I think its a lot more fun than using a service like Airbnb. Had some great adventures going all over southeast Asia on my own last summer and want to meet more open-minded, well-traveled, welcoming, positive people. Its all about finding, spreading, and surrounding yourself with good energy!

While I attract the infinite abundance of riches in the universe, Couchsurfing seems to be the best, most fun, most adventurous, most exciting way, to meet new people and travel to new places on a budget. I look forward to paying it forward when I am in New York.

I know that when we are all wealthy and successful (in whatever sense that looks like for you), we will all be glad that we saw the world and didn't shy away from having real tangible experiences when others claimed "they had no money" or "couldn't possibly travel" at that point in their lives.

You can do anything - just go out and do it!

Algo increíble que he hecho

Lived on a random island in the Swedish Archipelago with 12 of my best friends for a while. Also explored Stockholm and Amsterdam together and somehow made it all back... like seriously all 13 people were back in sunny California, intact. Amazing.

Traveled all around SouthEast Asia on my own. Went to Thailand, Bali, all over Japan, and Korea. Convinced my brothers to fly out with me to Thailand and had a GRAND adventure all over Chiang Mai and Phuket. Even got in a fucking motorcycle crash it was GNARLY

Worked on 2 movies in Japan. Both set to screen at Sundance and Cannes this year (Hopefully)

Trained for many years to become a professional baseball player in the United States.
