I'm a writer trying to see the world and learn about its people. I was born in New York City, NY, in the U.S. and grew up in the suburbs of Chicago. I'm open to most all new experiences, sampling the food and customs in the various places I go. Most people would describe me as relaxed and with a big sense of humor.

Note on my profile picture: I look the same but with a beard now. Need to update when I have a minute.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

Interested in meeting local people in the places I visit.

I read a lot and can almost always be found with a good book. You'll also see me scribbling in my journal as I keep a log of my days and thoughts.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I once roadtripped with great friends from Chicago to the western coast of America and back, hitting about dozen U.S. national and state parks and meeting tons of people along the way.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I can teach English language skills, can cook semi-well and always have a joke to share. I'd like to learn anything new you can show me!
