About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Couchsurfing has made me a better person, and I'm not done yet.

ABOUT ME

I'm in Paris again! I love it here so much!

According to my references I'm funny, great, and amazing, so maybe I am after all!

I like to joke around a lot. Just kidding.

My house is your house.

Quick tip: In Paris you can get free wifi at McDonalds, Starbucks, and Quick Burgers.

PHILOSOPHY

I choose to be happy.

I've found two "Secrets" of happiness, the first is helping other people, the second is to count your blessings.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted 100 people in a Very Small apartment in Rome in 2010 and now I'm hosting in my Very Small apartment in Paris!

In 2011 I Couchsurfed in a huge circle around the U.S. and Canada by car, 16,000 miles, amazing fun!

I've hosted people from Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belarus, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, England, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Iran, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Romania, Russia, Singapore, Slovakia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Turkey, Ukraine and the United States.

I've been hosted by people from Canada, France, Germany, Indonesia, Italy, Mexico, and the United States.

And of course there's the meetings and parties!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The CSers I've met have been some of the most funny, smart, nice, interesting, talented, healthy, ecologically conscious, and multilingual people I've ever met in my life!

I'd like to thank you all, it's been a blast!

Interests

I hope you're hungry, dinner is almost ready.

  • partying
  • volunteering

Music, Movies, and Books

I love comedy and action movies, and reality shows like Big Brother.

I've read thousands of books, I read everything. I've read the whole internet twice.

I like all kinds of music, there's one band that I'd take to a desert island for the rest of my life, called New Order. I hope you're lucky enough to have a favorite.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The best thing I've done was volunteer at the Blind Center of Nevada.

The most amazing thing I've seen was a UFO me and my girlfriend saw way down in Mexico, it was a bright light that appeared, traveled straight, then zigzagged in the sky, and was gone.
