About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living for the summer in Avola, Sicily.

ABOUT ME

My interests are wide-ranging and include things from outdoorsy stuff, to economics, to art and literature. I am fine with either a lazy night in around a fire or a fancy night out on the town - all depends on the best where ever I am has to offer. I have a real passion for international travel, agriculture and food policy.

PHILOSOPHY

“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couch surfed across America when I moved from Florida to Twisp, WA. It was awesome. Also, I have met some of my best friends through couchsurfing meetups in China, France, Myanmar and the US.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have not yet had the opportunity to host but have had a great time at meetups and as a surfer!

Interests

I am really into cooking!

Humanitarian work and rural economic development, architecture, traveling, literature, art and art study, organic foods, adventure, sailing, just living. Oh and dogs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
