I like sports, cooking, reading, writing, eating, meeting new people, going out, staying in, and experiencing new things and new places. I am a writer who works off of my laptop often. My goal is to get a feel for a city from a local's perspective, and hopefully that can be you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I decided to leave my steady, safe and reliable corporate job to travel the world starting this January, because that's where my heart lies. My trip is beginning in England, and from there I hope to travel all over Europe and eventually all over the world. Couchsurfing appeals to me because it gives me the opportunity to meet new people and experience new places from different perspectives and cultures, and I'm all about that.

Interests

I am athletic and enjoy playing many different sports, as well as being a spectator. I particularly enjoy meeting new people, and would consider myself a friendly outgoing and social person. I am a writer as well and am looking to make a living during my travels via freelance work on my laptop.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy a broad range of music from ranging all over the spectrum from hip hop and rap to classical and opera. My favorite movies are currently Meet Joe Black, Legends of the Fall, Whiplash, Her, The Place Beyond the Pines, Manos Sucias, True Grit, Stoker, and Lord of the Rings. I'm also all about Sci-Fi movies.

I enjoy many different books but my current favorites are the Magician trilogy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've almost died three times in my life. Once while on a motorcycle in Italy, the second rock climbing in Joshua Tree, California, and the third being when I had surgery as a child. I think being alive is pretty amazing and my goal is to live it to the fullest.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to learn about your world perspective, your local customs and habits and experience life in your country the way you live it every day. In return, I hope to share these things about me and hopefully have you come visit me one day back in the US.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am an easy going, low maintenance person who gets along with pretty much everyone. I am very respectful and my goal is to make sure I appreciate everything. I am willing to help out in any way I can, whether that be cleaning up or preparing a meal. I look forward to meeting you and hopefully I can share my life experiences and stories and you can share yours.
