About Me

I love to have a good time, Whether it be a night out on the town, or an afternoon sightseeing. I enjoy cooking meals for friends and sharing stories with strangers.

**Special Note**

I typically only host people who actually want to hang out and see the city from my "locals" point of view. However if you just need a place to drop your bags, you can do so in exchange for helping with my website, writing a blog post, or caring for one of the puppies (I am a puppy breeder/dealer/broker). So you can stay in exchange for puppy labor or social labor, your choice ;-)

***End Special Note****

You should look forward to meeting my crazy friends while enjoying fun nights out on the town, and exciting days touring local spots (if i have time). I'd prefer to open minded sociable people whom enjoy a drink and a laugh!

If you really want to impress me, bring wine. (Then I will know that you actually read my entire profile)

PHILOSOPHY
-Studies show that $10 wine tastes better when you're told that it costs $100

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Why? Someone introduced me to it, and it has since become a significant resource in my life enabling me to see more of the world than i ever would have.

I've hosted and surfed with several travelers in the last 3 or 4 years.. and I can honestly say, that I feel more well rounded or cultured because of it.

Interests

Cooking and Traveling.. those are the two things I know and do best.

I'm trying my best to live life like Anthony Bourdain, whether while traveling or while at home touring NYC's hidden food gems. Also i'm an amateur chef so, making food with friends... count me in.

other interests are technology related or various small businesses. Anything i can do to afford to never work in a cubical again.
