I'm a gentle and happy person. I'm very interested in traveling and exploring other cultures, and representing Americans in a positive way. I am a big proponent of human experiences, and believe that any good conversation expands our knowledge of the world. Big fan of beer, languages, love, friendship, reading, music and film.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To allow myself a better chance at getting to know some people from other cultures. To allow them into my world, and for those people to let me into theirs.

"If you're thinking about an idea you can solve in your lifetime, you're thinking too small."

What I Can Share with Hosts

A smile and positive attitude. Also some great stories of living with my arab family in the Middle East, as well as spending 4 months hiking the Appalachian Trail in the United States. As well as a good disposition.

"As is a tale, so is a life; not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters." Seneca

If we have a positive experience, and you ever need somewhere to sleep in the United States or Florence you can stay with me or one of my friends and I can help you with that.
