Adventure. Listening well. Road trips. Pull-ups. Peanut butter. Not taking myself too seriously. Curiosity.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said it best: "Be silly, be honest, be kind."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed twice, hosted five times, and here in the capital region of NY have connected with other surfers through meetups.

Interests

Anything that gets me outside: hiking, longboarding, mt. biking, skiing, ice climbing, ultimate frisbee, slacklining, firefly-catching, tree-climbing...you get the idea.
Dancing...dancing's pretty rad.
Creative expression in the form of painting, street art, illustration, photography, drawing or writing. I love when I can marry those with the beauty of the outdoors

Music, Movies, and Books

Copious amounts of EDM @ the gym.
Angels and Airwaves, blink, DMB, Breaking Benjamin, John Butler, Sum 41, non-country stuff...

Books: Hemingway, Steinbeck, Michael Crichton, Chuck Palahniuk, and a good illustrated kids book read to my niece or nephew.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Land yachting through my college campus on the remnants of some hurricane—I on rollerblades and my buddy rocking a long board—using a piece of construction plastic we found as a sail.
