I am an engineer living and working outside of Boston. For the first twenty-four years of my life, I lived in New Jersey, about twenty minutes outside of New York City. At this point, I am eager to visit the major cities of the world! Although I enjoy visiting museums and parks, I know that there are so many great, unexpected experiences waiting around every corner.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I travel, I want to learn about places by seeing the sights and meeting the people. Couchsurfing is especially appealing because of how genuine it is. Although I have not yet couch surfed, the profiles I've researched are full of guests raving about their outgoing hosts, who show them the real citizen's experience.

Music, Movies, and Books

My tastes in music are varied and change with the weather and my workload. Although I enjoy fast-passed, major-scale sounds when the sun is shining and I am energetic, I am soothed by slow, minor-scale sounds when the sky is gray and I can lay down for a bit.
I've attended a few concerts: Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, Rise Against, The Gaslight Anthem, CHVRCHES, Eminem, O|A|R, Streetlight Manifesto, Goo Goo Dolls, Coldplay, and Lifehouse. I would like to attend performances by: Foo Fighters, The Naked and Famous, Kings of Leon, and more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I started jogging a few years ago. Since then, I have been able to encourage friends and family to join me. While we run, we pick up litter and deposit it in recycling/trash bins. Also, we use an application called Charity Miles, which donates money from sponsors to charities of our choice. This really represents how I live: in everything you do, try to make yourself a better person and try to make the world a better place!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a fantastic recipe for banana bread with walnuts and chocolate chips. If we have some time and the ingredients, I will happily bake this for you!

I'm always willing to talk about who I am, what I have done in my life so far, and what I hope to someday accomplish.

What I Can Share with Hosts

An open conversation and polite guest. Unfortunately, I don't have much room for gifts in my backpack. Hopefully, I can reciprocate your generosity at some point in my visit.
