CURRENT MISSION

Life is either a great adventure or nothing

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been doing this couchsrufing business for over a year now and I cannot stress enough how incredible I think the networking site is.

I have stayed with 3 hosts and I have met at least 12 other hosts, some of whom have come to visit me in New York and who I still talk to often using IM. They were all gracious enough to show me around and point me toward all the hot spots.

I have not had a bad experience yet. Using this site is the best way I've really got to known a country and make real friends from around the world that have in turn come to visit me in NY.

Interests

Some of my passions (besides the obvious: TRAVELING) is writing, particularly screen & journalistic writing, music, film & every aspect of film, cultural exchange, and above all KNOWLEDGE (cheeseball moment - over. lol)

I want and will influence the world for the better. I can't stress how important I've found traveling to be for personal & social development. I like funny people, fun places, and basically anything new and interesting. I'm a BIG movie buff. I like comedies and action. I play Soccer and i'm a die hard Yankees baseball fan. I play three instruments; guitar, drums, and piano.
