CURRENT MISSION

From USA but currently living in South Korea.

ABOUT ME

I grew up traveling with my family, and now I still have a desire to travel with my family (my wife and I). I enjoy traveling anywhere but I have this fascination with visiting the places my grandparents were from. So far I have been able to connect with family in Italy and Germany. Still wanting to visit Japan, Wales and Adams, Mass. USA. I am a photographer and I enjoy documenting daily life in different cultures. I enjoy embedding myself in a culture, not doing the touristy things - really getting of the beaten path and finding things in the wild. All the better if that involves motorcycle rides.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn everyday and document as much I can to help others do the same.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because I love traveling and want to offer up my home to others that feel the same. I have unofficially hosted and been someone who has crashed, but enjoy this network as a more structured way to meet travelers. I love showing people the American South, but now that I live in Korea, I can show you what I have learned here so far.

Interests

I've made my living being a photographers for seven years, so photography has become more of a lifestyle than an interest. I always have my camera! I enjoy riding motorcycles and fixing vintage Hondas. I love food, cooking, beer, coffee and learning more about people.
