ABOUT ME

I'm a 9-foot tall Scandinavian half-man half-arctic fox who invented water and was the inspiration for Carly Simon's "You're So Vain." Kidding! I'm a 22-year old guy from Brooklyn who loves nothing more than to travel. Have spent a significant amount of time in Europe (mostly Italy) and just got back from traveling in Australia and Nepal. Can speak Italian, French and Nepali. Die-hard fan of Smashing Pumpkins, David Tennant & the NFL's Baltimore Ravens, NHL's Colorado Avalanche, MLB's New York Mets & NBA's Seattle SuperSonics, should they make their return to existence WHICH THEY WILL.

PHILOSOPHY

When it's all said and done, I want to have left a positive impact on the lives of every person I encounter. I believe that truly great people put others before themselves. I think that laughing for no reason is one of the healthiest things you can do. I want to see every country in the world, and I guess one day I dream of falling in love with someone and traveling the world with them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trekking in Nepal. The Himalayas are pretty dang beautiful up close.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have an extensive knowledge of matters most would consider trivial (pop culture of the 80s and 90s being my specialty subject), but I also have knowledge to share of anything from the French language to the history of Bosnia to the basic principles of Buddhism. I'd love to learn some practical things, such as building or carpentry and survival skills-- THAT would be cool.

What I Can Share with Hosts

An openness and love of life and new experiences, friendliness and great conversation.
