CURRENT MISSION

Drink deep. It's just a taste, and it might never come this way again.

ABOUT ME

Lived in the outskirts of Washington, DC all my life and now I've been bitten pretty hard by the travel bug. I enjoy punk music and music journalism. I'd consider myself pretty down-to-earth, honest, and positive. I'm usually up for seeing or trying something new.

PHILOSOPHY

Your future is whatever you make it, so make it a good one.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had a few great experiences in Osaka, Bratislava, Budapest, and Beijing. Couchsurfing also helped me find an apartment in Madrid. Couchsurfers seem to be open, friendly, and extremely helpful. I appreciate all they've done for me!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to swim, figure skate, play a few chords on the guitar, or unicycle. I could probably hold up my end of a conversation on punk rock or hardcore punk.

I'd appreciate a lesson on your native language, a crash course on any world history you enjoy, and any book recommendations - especially science fiction, non-fiction novels, or comedy.
