About Me

Hey!

I am an adventurous dude who enjoys traveling and good conversation.

I love exploring and meeting new people, as well as seeing new places. I currently work as a journalist in New York, and I hope to fit in as much travel as I can between crazy deadlines.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm pretty new to Couchsurfing, but am excited to meet new people!

Interests

I love to read, write, hike, play guitar, ride my bike, listen to music, write songs, and discover cool new local bars and coffee shops.

Music, Movies, and Books

My top musical artists are Dylan, the Beatles, Arctic Monkeys, the Libertines, Josh Ritter, the Tallest Man on Earth, Feter Hendel, and Kanye West.

My favorite movies are actually TV shows: The Sopranos, The Wire, Breaking Bad, The Leftovers, and anything Planet Earth-like (i.e. Life, Life of Birds, and pretty much any/every BBC nature documentary—David Attenborough is the man!).

My favorite books are all of the Harry Potter books (except a few long sections of Book 7), How to Breathe Underwater by Julie Orringer, Wonder by R.J. Palacio, 11/22/63 by Stephen King, and anything by Jim Harrison (of blessed memory).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I shook Robin Williams hand once, when I was in the audience of a talk show he was appearing on. It wasn't nearly as sweaty or hairy as you might think.
