Undergrad student of history and philosophy. High school wrestler, collegiate runner until a lower back injury. Currently into rock climbing as recreation.

I commute to Boston for work - I either bicycle or ride my 1979 Motobecane moped the weekly 150 miles.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy the grit of human interaction and uphold a classic admiration for adventure.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Cranberries, Red Hot Chili Peppers, David Bowie. Mouse Hunt, Tokyo Drift, The Good/Bad/Ugly. My taste in books fluctuate from quick poetry readings to longer fantasy novels, though, any words by the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius hold significant inspiration.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As a student in Boston during the blizzard of 2014, I snowshoed about 16 miles home to Norwood Massachusetts. The walk took an estimated 5-6 hours - my mother was quite surprised when I arrived home at six in the morning.

With visibility at 10-25 feet depending on location and the time of the storm, I had to rely solely on myself to get through the night.

It wasn't that dramatic. I made a bacon egg and cheese sandwich when I got home and then promptly went to bed.
