About Me

* Please read my profile(it's not long) and address at least one synchronicity between your interests and mine. I do my best to respond to all messages, but a lazy-written request will almost surely be dismissed.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I host | I surf.
I believe in comradery as essential sacred quality to exacerbate potential living futures

Backpacking and road trips here and there, from Morocco to Europe to Latin America, Canada and the USA. All fantastic experiences!

I've also surfed as I was developing my most recent work as a travelogue-maker.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My brother and I jumped into the Cuyabeno lake during sundown. During the day we had seen the anacondas wrapped around the trees that pop out of the water. Something about the rainforest made it safe, we felt so free anyway.

Teach, Learn, Share

I try to stay in movement. When I can I travel, I record. Try and figure out how people treat the act of remembering, how the cultures of our world keep history fresh and vibrant in the collective minds of societies: the dramatic atoms that surround us on a day to day, those small glimpses, the in-betweens and expansions of our life's routines.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Dérives, black holes, campfires ----- wandering, swimming, cooking, street food hunting, stories storied stories and all the other liminal intersections that come from the mixture of all the above and the bellow
