"The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun."

-- Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild

I am an American visiting Europe for the first time. I'm excited to meet fun and interesting people. I'm also looking forward to experiencing the history and beauty of the cities I will visit. On my European journey I will visit Reykjavik, Paris, Venice, Rome, Barcelona, London and Prague. I hope I get to meet you along the way.

MY MISSION:

A life well lived.

MY PHILOSOPHY:

Not all those who wander are lost...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to connect with incredible people and experience a local's point of view during my travels and I think it's amazing to see my own country through the eyes of another. I also hope to form some lasting friendships.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was in the US Navy I was on a submarine for one month. One day the submarine came up to the surface so that we could eat sandwiches and swim in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. It was amazing to be so far away from land with no ground beneath my feet. Luckily there were no sharks that day. :-)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love music and I like to share and experience new music. I know a funny joke or two. And I make pretty good cocktails.
