29 years old from Ohio USA. Quit my job in Finance to drive my car to Patagonia with my brother. The trip took 10 months and created countless memories.

Now I'm about to ride my motorcycle from far eastern Russia to Spain and then throughout all of Africa. This trip will take about 1 year. I've shipped my motorcycle to Korea, so I need to stay here for a few days while I get everything arranged.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music

U2, Bruce Springsteen, Galantis, Fitz and the Tantrums, The Killers, Arcade Fire...pretty much everything depending on what I'm feeling.

Movies

I love all kinds of movies, everything except scary films. My favorite movies are those which I grew up watching: Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, Lord of the Rings.

Books

I am a terrible reader. I often get very close to the end of a book and then never finish. But my favorite books are by Tom Clancy, which I listen to rather than read. I'm too lazy and who doesn't like being read a story??

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drove across Canada, east to west, non stop. Drove through all of Chile, north to south, non stop. I've made friends from all over the world, I've eaten amazing food, I've eaten terrible food. I've been in car accidents, climbed mountains, fallen in love, and chased my dreams.

Teach, Learn, Share

I cook great Italian food from scratch - pasta, sauce, meatballs. Pretty good at photography, but just getting started with photo editing, though I know some tricks.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories and sharing experiences, cooking some great Italian food. Truly I just like to get to know people and I think that is the best way to enjoy CF.
