About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to meet cool new people and network! Eventually, offer them a place to stay while they visit the awesome places where I currently live!

ABOUT ME

I'd like to think of myself as being pretty awesome. I try to be as inclusive and welcoming as possible, and I love making new friends.

PHILOSOPHY

See as much of the world as I can, and meet as many people as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to participate in couchsurfing by offering up my home as a place for travelers to stay. In turn, meeting new people and being able to have a place to stay while I travel.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have Couchsurfed a bunch when I went on a backpacking trip in 2013 through Asia. The people were so kind and laid back, I want to be a person like all of the people I met - the kind of people that make the world a better place just by being in it.

Interests

Theatre and improvisation, books, video games, meeting cool people, other cultures, sleeping and relaxing. English, a little Italian and a little Japanese.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I like any and all music, sure there might be specific songs I don't really like, but if I don't like it, I certainly respect it.

Movies: My favorite movie is The Fifth Element, I also really like Equilibrium, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Django Unchained, and many more.

I think my favourite book/show right now is Princess Jellyfish. It's a manga and anime.

Books: I love reading! My favorite book is probably The Count of Monte Cristo. I especially like books from the fantasy and dystopian genre. From Game of Thrones to Brave New World. Harry Potter as well, I re-read Harry Potter every year.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I consider many things amazing things I've done/seen. From gazing up at the stars on a beach at night, to going to E3 and Comic Con! I've traveled through Asia from Japan, to Hong Kong and China, into Mongolia and then Russia on the Trans-Siberian railway. I hope for many more!

Now I am a trained, professional actor. I am travelling through Italy performing and teaching English to school children here. I'm living the dream: my dream!
