CURRENT MISSION

To better the world and make people laugh

ABOUT ME

My favorite things are music and comedy. I've been to a bunch of music festivals like Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Firefly. I also play drums in a band in Baltimore.

I usually have a one-liner to add about everything. I dabble in stand-up comedy sometimes. I love to meet new people and will always try to start a conversation with someone I have not met yet.

PHILOSOPHY

Value others.

If you can't laugh at it, you can't live with it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think the best way to travel is to ask the people who live there where to go or what to do. And the best way to meet those people is through couchsurfing!

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to meet surfers when they're in town and when I have a spare bed I've hosted a few surfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted surfers at home and have crashed on a few couches in Europe.

Interests

Live music! I try to go to as many concerts as possible. Living in New Orleans is a great excuse to see all types of bands.

I also like to hike around and just take in the view.

I'm also interested in tech, specifically mobile and web development.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My first trip to Honduras was incredible. I travel there every 6 months or so to help build schools for an organization called Central American Children's Institute. My first time there I met so many other people who care about education in developing nations. That trip developed my love for traveling and forced me to learn Spanish.

Teach, Learn, Share

Maybe we can jam out! Or possibly I could teach you a bit of Spanish too. If that's not enough I can teach you how a website and mobile app works, a few jokes, or how to sell stuff (I sell t-shirts and merch for our band).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love tasting new beers and trying new foods. I'd be happy to cover some rounds or pay for your meal if we went out. I can also cook some of my grandmother's Arroz con pollo recipe.

It's also one of my rules that if I stay at your place, you have to try something with Old Bay on it. It's a Maryland thing.
