About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to enjoy new experiences, discuss interesting ideas, and build meaningful relationships.

PHILOSOPHY

I think it's important to examine life and to take risks, to put yourself in uncomfortable situations, to open yourself to new people, and to live deliberately.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've met some really great people through CS. I met my wife on here eight years ago in Sydney!

In 2016 I moved back to Cambridge after years of traveling. I would like to use CS to meet fun nerds and build a community here in Boston.

Interests

Long conversations that are sometimes serious and sometimes not, exploring, hiking, games, philosophy, psychology, frisbee, sunshine, genuine people, finding enjoyment in little things.

I don't smoke and rarely drink, but I'm cool with whatever you do.

  • cooking
  • meditation
  • board games
  • traveling
  • bouldering
  • hiking
  • sailing
  • rock climbing
  • psychology
  • card games

Music, Movies, and Books

Four favorites from each category:

Movies: Into the Wild, Requiem for a Dream, Fight Club, Black Mirror

Books: Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Coupland, Rolf Potts, Your Money or Your Life

My music preferences are too embarrassing to list.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I walked from Georgia to Maine.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach: card games, board games, computer stuff, philosophy, optimal packing for long term travel.

I'd like to learn: how to meditate, how to sail, how to sleep anywhere, and more about cooking.
