About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To understand the world through exploration and cultural exchanges

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Vermont spending time camping, hiking, skiing, and playing music. After high school I lived in Boston and San Francisco focusing on a couple of bands. Finally I returned to VT to earn a degree in Ecological Agriculture. Now I am looking for opportunities to live an ecological life, while exploring the world and living fascinating stories whenever I can.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't want to regret a missed opportunity. There is only one chance at this life. Why not try something new?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I live in a house that allows it, I will be hosting. For now I am simply surfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've spent a week on a couch in San Francisco. Couches, like beds offer a lot of potential for sleep.
