CURRENT MISSION

To go everywhere - Twice!

ABOUT ME

I grew up in New York and went to college at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, GA and graduate school at UC San Diego before landing in Chicago for work.

After three years of living and working in Chicago I quit my job and decided to go to business school in Barcelona. School starts in the August so that leaves me with four months time for an overland adventure.

I start my travels in Shanghai in mid-April so if you live between Shanghai and Barcelona (roughly in a straight line) I may be contacting you on my way through.

I will be posting photos and ramblings from my adventures here:

PHILOSOPHY

"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page."

I'll try anything once, and probably twice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In the past I have traveled in South America, Europe, and Asia. CS is a great way to meet some local people along the way, it definitely improves your experiences when traveling.
