I work at Bellview Winery, a small family owned winery in South Jersey. I have my hands in every part of the operation, but my passion lives with the vines, and I'm currently training to become the Vineyard Manager. In my free time I try to learn as much as possible, and I'm always trying to find new hobbies.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet interesting friendly people in all parts of the world, and there seems no better way to find them than couch surfing. The type of person who would welcome a stranger on vacation into their home is the type of person I want to be surrounded by.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent February of 2016 in Bangalore, staying with my father's family. We spent the entire trip visiting temples and ashrams, and sitting with the faithful in an attempt to relocate my own faith. I was struck with an enormous sense of serendipity, and marveled in the privilege of my own life; although the noise and smells of the city deprived me of sleep, I arguably learned more about myself and my heritage in that short period than the rest of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll start with what I would like to learn: everything
I know enough to teach about: poi (flow art), basic psychology and neuro-chemistry, philosophy(personal moreso than conventional), and Christianity(raised in Catholic school, though i don't identify as Catholic)

What I Can Share with Hosts

First and foremost I can share my unique perspective on the world, which I've made efforts to cultivate and diversify. I also tend to carry party supplies wherever I go ;) I listen to new music constantly, and have Spotify and Pandora premium accounts to keep the party playlist fresh.

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, France, India, Turkey
