About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel, become more culturally aware, and see the world for what it really is.

ABOUT ME

Hey there! To start it off I'm a 26 year old college graduate who has lived in New York most of his life but spent the past few years living in Ireland and South Korea. Currently I'm in the process of moving to Australia on a working visa.

I believe we as people have to experience the unknowns to figure out the bigger picture. I love traveling, seeing new faces, and consider myself extremely outgoing. I'm also always up a few pints no matter where I am!

PHILOSOPHY

Strength is in the Mind. Dream Big.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will always lend out a helping hand to those in need.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had my first couch surfing experience in the winter of 2013 and ever since I've basically fallen in love with it. I hosted during my stay in South Korea and I've surfed throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, and in Africa as well. Each place I've been and every person I've met have had different yet powerful impacts on my life.

Interests

Traveling, philosophy, mountaineering, climbing rock or ice, the outdoors, listening to music, speaking my mind, and playing the guitar. I enjoy going out for drinks at times in unique places as well as eating interesting food but NO nuts!
