ABOUT ME

I'm a friendly creative person. I love cooking, making movies, brewing beer & physical activities. I grew up in the woods of New Hampshire and love wild life. I'm new to cities, but think they are great. I just want make friends, travel & learn as much as I can.

PHILOSOPHY

Love yourself and those around you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I started using the site in May 2011 as a surfer during my travels abroad. It was a great way to meet like minded locals and I was instantly hooked. After coming home from 7 months of traveling I'm looking forward to hosting people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

May 2011 to September 2011 I was backpacking throughout Europe and surfed in Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Germany, Belgium & Iceland.

Interests

I have a few interests. First let's start with what I went to school for, Film Production. Quality TV shows and Films are right up my alley. If you enjoy dolly shots, dramatic lighting and the other technical aspects of video entertainment then we should talk.

My major hobby is BEER!! I'm an avid homebrewer (beer, soda & more in the future) and craft beer advocate. I traveled Europe visiting breweries and keeping a journal of my tastings. I'm active on BeerAdvocate.com and RateBeer.com and can talk endlessly about beer.

A sustainable lifestyle. If you got the room planting your own food, catching rainwater for toilets & other hippy dippy things. I think this is really cool.

Lastly languages. If we can practice Spanish, Hebrew or Dutch that'd be cool as I want to get better at them.
