关于我

I am an ambitious and motivated guy with a genuine childlike curiosity about the world around me. I love meeting new people and hearing their fascinating stories. So much so, that I've dedicated my life to hearing people's stories and telling them in an interesting way – that's why I became a journalist. I’m a freelance journalist who has written stories for National Geographic Travel, Time, The Guardian, ESPN, Vice, and Lonely Planet.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I truly believe in a world where we can share experiences, food, rides and couches! I've Couchsurfed several times so far; in Buenos Aires, Florianopolis, Marseille, Aix en Provence, Dubrovnik, and Vienna. I also hosted people while living in Madrid, attended some meetings and participated in forum discussions.

兴趣

I'm a globetrotting nomad. I've been to 47 countries and am working on more. Talk to me about the news and the politics of your country (in English, French, Spanish or Portuguese). Along with writing, I love to take photos, learn about different cultures and explore. Being fit and healthy is also very important to me, so I love to stay active by doing exercise like climbing, swimming in lakes, biking, running and going to the gym. I grew up playing sports including ice hockey as a goalie and basketball, so I'm down for anything active.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

教,学,和分享

I have excellent communications skills so I can help with English writing/editing or to help you practice the language. I can also practice French or Spanish with you. In addition, I'm an experienced freelance journalist/digital nomad and willing to teach, give tips about going remote.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I can cook up a mean breakfast and love to prepare food for one or more! Need some cleaning done? I'm your man. I love taking photos and would be happy to get you set up with a new profile pic.
