About Me

CURRENT MISSION

see the world and everyone in it!

ABOUT ME

adventurous, passionate, open-minded, musical, thoughtful, creative, comical; you choose

PHILOSOPHY

I like to "stop and smell the roses" as the saying goes, making each day count by trying new things and finding enjoyment in my surroundings.

Also, dude, just pay it forward.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

surfed for a night in England, looking to pay back the favor

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Needed last second accommodations for one night in Manchester and was offered a place through CS. Met some awesome people and they were even having a huge house party that night, definitely a great CS experience!

Have since hosted a large number of surfers here in Milan and surfed in various places around Europe and it's a great way to make it easier for individuals with limited budget but extensive horizons to get out and travel.

Interests

I have a strong interest in music - writing and performing, engineering concerts, or producing other artists. I also enjoy traveling, movies, sports, cooking, learning new languages, meeting new people, and enjoying local nightlife wherever I go! Dedicated psychonaut.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Joining in a seafood festival on the beach of Positano, Italy - had no idea it was going on when I arrived but it was just TOO Italian not to love

Working with artists like Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, Nappy Roots, Ace Frehley, OK Go, Skrillex, etc. during my time working as a live sound engineer

Opening the third eye atop a mountain of myth and lore on the Aegean coast of Turkey

Being recognized by one of my favorite bands and personal heroes at their concert - completely awestruck

Teach, Learn, Share
