About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To Enjoy Life

ABOUT ME

I love to travel, and I love the idea of meeting new people - at home or afar, and this site seems perfect for that. Whether you're passing through my town, or I'm passing through yours, I'm always up to grab a coffee/drink, have a meal, or offer up my couch to anyone who's interested.

I've lived in a number of places in the U.S., but never outside of it (yet). I'm currently in Seattle, after having spent several years in NYC and Atlanta. I'm a very laid back guy, easy to get along with, easy to talk to, and always up to try something new.

PHILOSOPHY

I travel not to go somewhere, but simply to go and to do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meet up with locals while traveling, and open to showing people around my hometown!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have met up with some wonderful people all over the world.

Interests

Travel, Skiing, climbing, surfing, water skiing, virtually anything outdoors. I dig great restaurants, good cocktails, and good conversationalists with a lot to say. I love curiosity and spontaneity, meeting new people, doing new things, and just kind of going with the flow...

Music, Movies, and Books

Listen to virtually all music, except heavy metal. I love to read as well. Favorite author is Ernest Hemingway, but I tend to stick to non-fiction most of the time. I don't watch much tv, but love a good movie.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Surfing my way through Costa Rica. Skiing my way through Chile. Climbing my way around Washington.
Hiking my way through Norway. Eating my way through Copenhagen

Teach, Learn, Share

I am only fluent in English, but speak a little bit of French as well (I'm learning!). I love design, urbanism, and cities, and love seeing places from a local perspective. Good food, good drinks, and great nightlife are always welcome, as is anything adventurous!
