trying to think of something to write

ABOUT ME

Okay, Hi!, I'm here on CS to travel, connect and have fun. I work as a green design and construction consultant and am looking to host - my apartment is accessible to NYC if you need a place to crash I have several couches. I'm up for shorter visits too, like coffee or drinks. Give a shout!

PHILOSOPHY

Be civil to all; sociable to many; familiar with few; friend to one; enemy to none. Benjamin was such a gentle man.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't hosted yet but have CS'ed in eastern Europe a while back and recently in Toronto. I'm not traveling abroad much now so I'd love to host! I'm 60 minutes from Bradley International Airport and 90 minutes from NYC (approx 3 hrs from NYC airports).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I wish I heard of CS'ing sooner! I first heard of it from a guy in Peru. I thought he just meant random house stays and I thought he was off his rocker. I checked it out later and traveled through Europe on the CS network. I have only found hosts to be thoughtful interesting people. Don't prove me wrong!

Interests

Ideally I'd live between the mountains and the ocean... but I live in southern CT, go figure!! I'm a biophilic at heart.

Music, Movies, and Books

~ Movies: nothing too scary, I've gotten soft. Arrested Development is pretty good, one of those flix you can always watch the reruns. Same with Always Sunny in Philladelphia - what characters! HA!!

~Music: wide range, probably between de la Soul to Deep Banana Blackout, lots of good smaller, local artists doing it cuz they love it, which is AWESOME! Many local venues I should support more. So you should come and check 'em out!

~Books: 'The Places Inbetween' is a great read. The most amazing travel story ever! Non-fiction, a Scottman embarks across Afganistan in 2002,bound to cross the country - 'nuf said! Read the book!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sailed oceans and climbing mountains - had the privilege to mountaineer in Peru but nearly lost a good friend. Same trip we hailed a taxi filled with one large animal. The taxi driver was thoughtful and put it on the roof :0 That counts as one thing right?

Teach, Learn, Share

Check out New Haven! Great food, drink and music. I love the farmers market on Saturday! It's worth a stop over in southern CT! FYI Connecticut has some amazing small dairy farmers i.e AWESOME CHEESE!!
