Live in Florida and wherever the next cheap flight takes me. I enjoy cycling, kayaking, reading and occasionally writing. I'm looking to continue learning about different cultures and how historical events, geography, politics and religion constantly shape them. I thrive on having deep/thought provoking conversations about any topic.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds especially when I travel. I’m collecting experiences to currently write about them focusing on food and life in general possibly in two different books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-Walked around the perimeter of Manhattan to explore neighborhoods within it (37 miles) in a single day

- Cycled 100 miles in a single day around SW Florida (Where I currently live)

- Not sure if stupid or amazing but I also biked across Arikok National Park in Aruba in a 20 inch wheel foldable bike without suspension. No major incidents and captured some great photos

- Drove a motorcycle for a few hundred kilometers in Vietnam
