Overview
About Me
I'm a musician from the Boston area. I love learning languages, cooking, exercising, traveling, reading, and having a good time. I just started on Couch Surfing because of reading Tim Ferris's blog and I really love the idea. One of the bad parts about travel is sitting in a boring hotel room when you could be meeting new people.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm couch surfing because I spend a lot of time traveling and there's much more fun that can be had by crashing with random people (aka soon to be friends) than posting up in an expensive hotel. I also love meeting new people.

What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share my music, food, and stories with the host. I've got a lot of incredible dishes that I make with my girlfriend and I used to make them for a lot of my friends at school. I'd be happy to make them for the host. I also bring my guitar everywhere with me, I'd love to play some music and share my stuff with any host that's interested.
