About Me

ABOUT ME

I am a photographer and digital technician living in Brooklyn, New York. I am a wanderer. I love to meet new people, do new things and I am excited about life in general.

I am trying to de-clutter my life both of excess physical objects and mental cloudiness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed two couches and have met up with a few couch surfers for drinks! I am currently living in someone else's house who is not up for having surfers! (I am hoping to change her mind!)

It's been wonderful, everyone I have met has been generous, interesting, and overall very positive!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have snorkeled in the Great Barrier Reef, I have zip lined through the trees of Costa Rica, climbed a glacier in Iceland and tandem jumped in KCMO.

Teach, Learn, Share

Good Vibes, that's what I strive for. I am a photographer by trade so I am always looking to collaborate and create. Recently, I have developed a desire to learn how to cook and am working on that!
