ABOUT ME
I moved to New York in September of '07 after living in LA for 5 years. I am an actor and a director interested in community, positivity, and progress. Living on the Upper West Side, which I like very much. Not all who wander are lost. And I love to wander, and search, and seek, and explore. I work hard, I love harder, and I'm learning to be easier on myself. Most of all, I like to move it move it, blast some tunes, and freak myself anywhere I can. I have something incredible to offer. When I find out what that is, I'll be sure to let you know. ; )
PHILOSOPHY
"Wherever you are, you are on your path...I see my path, but I don't know where it leads. Not knowing where I'm going is what inspires me to travel it."
-Buddha, via Adam
"It is hard to find this track of the divine in the midst of this life we lead. How could I fail to be a lone wolf? I can not understand nor share these joys, though they are within my reach, for which thousands of others strive. On the other hand, what happens to me in my rare hours of joy, what for me is bliss and life and ecstasy and exaltation, the world in general seeks at most in imagination, in life it finds it absurd."
-Hesse, "Steppenwolf"
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Got into CS because of a backpacking trip in Fall of '08. Visited Munich, Salzburg, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Berlin, and Amsterdam, and met with some wonderful people from CS along the way. Much gratitude and appreciation. Hope to travel as much as I can, and meet people from around the world through CS. Always willing to meet travelers here in NYC as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Hiking volcanoes in Antigua, Guatemala, laying on the grass with my father in Kinsale, Ireland, roaming the streets of Cortona, Italy, sipping wine and listening to The Doors on the beach with my friend Audra in Nice, France, taking in the sunset from the top of Masada in Israel. Just some of my favorite memories.
