I'm just a picture taking, dog loving, guitar playing, cider drinking, Maine-iac living in Brattleboro, Vermont enjoying the small-town life....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am yet to do some heavy-traveling myself, but until that day, I'm happily offering my own home to those who are looking for a cozy place to crash for a night or two.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent the summer of 2011 working 75 hrs/week on a family farm where I looked after cows, pigs, chickens, gardens while camping out in an abandoned RV parked in a field on the shore of the Salmon Falls River.

I've gone rock climbing on Seneca Rocks in West Virginia after hiking for over a week in Shenandoah National Park.

...I had breakfast with Natalie Portman.
