CURRENT MISSION

To rid the wold of the term... "ugghh, abnoxious american!"

ABOUT ME

As for me.... Well, I am a dreamer, a wanderer, an adventurer. I can't wait until I'm too old to remember to tie my shoes but I can still remember the great stories of my life and share them with my grandchildren. My goal in life is to step foot onto every continent before I die and to love life fully and never stop living for right now. I am going to school for English as I hope to become a writer someday and am minoring in spanish well. I live in NYC and love it there and would love to share this great city with anyone that desires to come. So if you are in need of a couch, a cup of coffee, dinner, or just a little advice I would be happy to help.

PHILOSOPHY

Where ever you go, there you are. You can never run far enough away to escape yourself. This was my mothers greatest piece of advice and I still live it today. So my motto is always be the person you were meant to be and don't change for anyone. And just have fun, don't be afraid of new ideas, thoughts, languages. Be open to people because you never know where it will take you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It is my desire to help make the world a smaller place and one that is accessible to everyone, not just a select few.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing has been an amazing way to make some new and great friends and make the world a bit smaller. I've never had a bad experience in either hosting or couch surfing... My recommendation is that you just jump in head first and enjoy the ride!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't really have one amazing thing I've done or seen. (Although, a twelve day road trip through the UK and a 7 day road trip through canyons and mountain passes in northern Argentina were definitely at the top of my list) I have been fortunate enough to have seen most of the United States and now I have the opportunity to see most of Argentina... So I am a happy man :-)

Teach, Learn, Share

I just want to share my home and my experiences in life in exchange for learning about some one and some place new. I would LOVE to learn more languages and am always open to language exchanges.
