CURRENT TRIP

In Summer 2015, my girlfriend Audrey and I will be cycling around Europe. Starting in Copenhagen, we'll follow the North Sea Cycle Route down to Belgium. We don't know our destination just yet, but we're excited to spend a few months cycling, meeting people, and experiencing European culture.

We are friendly, clean, and respectful. We would love to meet you, and we will likely only stay 1 night. Any hospitality is very much appreciated, such as a simple space to pitch our tent.

ABOUT ME

I work at the Urban Outfitters head office in Philadelphia as the Business Intelligence Engineer, which means I "do computers."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

"People make the Journey": the most memorable part of any travel experience is the hospitality of the people you meet along the way. It's great having friends in places all over the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My friend, Ryan, and I completed a 30-minutes movie, "Apocalypse Briggs," in May 2008. The entire process took 5-months and literally hundreds of hours, especially in sound editing. I'm proud of how it turned out, although when I re-watch it, I cringe at some of the mistakes we made. I guess nothing can ever be perfect.
