About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be the change I wish to see in the world.

ABOUT ME

I am married to the most amazing woman in the world! Her name is Maria and I cannot wait to see more world with her.
As for me... I've decieded to keep the over-dramatic, horribly-poetic description I wrote when I first opened this account years ago:
"I am an artist with a passion for people. I am a writer bent on empathy. I am a human being eternally starved for adventure. "

PHILOSOPHY

When I grow up I want to be...
well traveled,
well loved,
& wise.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted and loved it. I've surfed and loved it. Right now we are living with a family in their home so hosting is not possible, however I'm always down to meet new people and show them around Boston.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I flew from a job in Colorado to San Fransisco with no plans, no money, and no CSing experience. People took me into their homes and I fell in love with the logic of couch karma immediately! I have also hosted at my place.

Interests

The art of living.

  • arts
  • writing
  • cooking
  • logic

Music, Movies, and Books

This changes all the time... just ask and I'll let you know what I'm reading/listening to in the moment.

For example... right now:
Reading - The Art of Critical Pedagogy
Listening to - The new Trampled By Turtles album
Recent Movie I saw - Not a movie, but just finished up the True Detective series. It really amps up the psychological side of psychological thriller.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in the Amazon region in Brazil with my wife Maria for 10 months. So many stories!

Teach, Learn, Share

Being a sculptor has taught me how to make and/or fix a lot of stuff. In fact, sometimes in the process of making something, you have to fix it over and over! If you want to make/fix something, just ask and we can problem-solve it together.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a damn good cook and my wife, Maria tells the best stories. She comes from a huge Irish-American family whose motto is... "never let the truth come in the way of a good story!"

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru

Countries I’ve Lived In

Brazil, United States
