I grew up in the town of Braintree, MA which is a suburb 10 miles south of the city of Boston. From an early age I have been fascinated by the world and eager to explore everything. I am especially excited about the natural world and nearly every form of outdoor recreation. I have been all over North America to hike, bike, rock climb, ski, and kayak. I consider myself to be easy going especially when it comes to travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to explore the Earth and meet the amazing people that inhabit it. I think that travel can be affordable and that if more people travel there will be more understanding and less hate in the world.

Interests

I have never met an outdoor activity that I don't like. From backcountry skiing to road biking if its strenuous and outside, I probably do it. I also enjoy theater, live music, art, museums, science, movies... there are very few things I don't find interesting. I am just very passionate about experiencing life in many ways.

I like all kinds of music but for a quick sampling I will say: Dire Straights, AC/DC, Avril Lavigne, Taylor Swift, ABBA, The Zac Brown Band, Twenty One Pilots, Keith Urban, Show Tunes, Ben Howard, Imagine Dragons... as I said all kinds of music.

I love thrillers and adventure movies and books. Some favorites that come to mind are Into the Wild, Up, Shutter Island, The Italian Job, Harry Potter, Jaws, The Perfect Storm, A walk in the woods (the book, hated the movie)
