About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Wanna help me find it?

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Manhattan, first in Greenwich Village, then in Battery Park city. I played football (soccer) competitively until I was 20. I graduated from Wesleyan University a year ago where I studied a combination of Philosophy, Literature, History and German. In my free time I enjoy hanging out with friends, playing soccer and reading. Right now I am teaching English in Palma de Mallorca and trying to figure out what to do next with my life. I also like chess.

PHILOSOPHY

In flux.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I built this profile when I decided to travel around Germany while I was studying abroad in Bavaria. I hope to host people when I return to the U.S. and have a stable place of my own.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had an amazing week in Vienna staying at Daniela's place. Otherwise that's it.
