CURRENT MISSION

To be a positive influence while exploring and discovering as many amazing places and people as I can, one day at a time...

ABOUT ME

I'm originally from a dairy farm in Pennsylvania, moved to Miami where I finished college and lived for 6 years. Lived in Brasil for 5 years and was back in the Northeast spending time with my family and learning how to brew beer and cider all while enjoying everything that nature has to offer.

Been exploring Colombia most recently.

I love grilling and chilling and am always telling jokes, funny stories, laughing and doing crazy things... yet I know when to joke around and when to get things done. I always try to make things fun and make people laugh.

I love learning and experiences. Whether it is something new or just another way to do something or think about something that I already know. I've been known to intrigue a few people and make them laugh a lot. I am a very inspirational, positive and motivational person.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I do my best to go to the weekly meetings since I have language knowledge and can help people communicate if there's a barrier. Also, I like meeting new people/visitors, help them in any way I can and as well as make some new friends. I hope someday I can visit someone's country for a day or if I have a layover, we can rock out and eventually be able to do the same for that person or a friend of theirs visiting in my country.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been attending the BH, SP, and NYC meetings and have met some of the nicest people and continue to be friends afterwards.

Centres d'intérêt

To share and experience great things that should be known or experienced during my time on earth. Getting the most out of life and not waste any time while doing so. Jokes, traveling, story telling, Wine, Artesianal Cheeses, Cooking, exploring, experiencing new cultures, meeting new people, learning and trying new things...and single malt scotches.
To: helping others and offering my advice and experiences, international friendships and good vibrations. Feed me your knowledge and whatever exotic you have in your refrigerator! ;)

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Saw a Double Rainbow at the beach in Ubatuba on New Years day at 6AM... flew to Italy to work on an organic farm during the vendemmia for 3 weeks with a bunch of strangers... AND more to come!
