CURRENT MISSION

To avoid Cul-De-Sacs, Suburbia and 9 to 5 Jobs at all costs

ABOUT ME

I have lived in the Keys my entire life, but now live in Boynton Beach where I've just completed my overpriced education, with the hopes that I may one day become a well-rounded intellectual who will contribute to society.

PHILOSOPHY

"I pray that moderation, the gods' most beautiful gift, will always guide me."-From Euripides' Medea

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have Couchsurfed in Switzerland, Israel, Canada & England, and met up with Couchsurfers in Ireland. I have also officially hosted several times (Peru, Sweden, France, Australia, Canada, US, UK, Switzerland, Germany...), but frequently have random people sleeping in the living room. All of my experiences have been wonderful.

Interests

Obviously traveling and meeting new people. Almost all things outdoors. Pugs. Music and books like you have no idea... Reading, yoga. Good movies and good food. Writing. I also have a special place in my heart for boardgames and coffee table books. Situations where it is cold outside, warm inside. Stormy days (as long as I'm not flying). Book stores.

Teach, Learn, Share

"In the Hindu view, our individual egos are like islands in a sea: We look out at the world and each other and think we are separate entities. What we don't see is that we are connected to each other by means of the ocean floor beneath the waters."
