Life is extraordinary, and I'm enchanted by all of it.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

I figure I've got 100 or so years on this planet, and I haven't met enough of the incredible people on it. I want to meet y'all!! People who are excited about connecting, sharing, adventuring, making wild memories. I want to meet more people who are determined to get the most out of their existence.

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

Drove through one of the biggest blizzards in Boston history to get to the closest open airport (Washington D.C.) to fly to Los Angeles in time for the Grammys...which I ended up not attending. Le sigh. The trip was unbelievable though and very Mission Impossible if I do say so myself.

Ensine, Aprenda, Compartilhe

My life motto: "Whatever you do, Come Alive," (inspired by Howard Thurman). Whenever your eyes are wide, your mind is on fire, and you forget that time exists...I think that means you've come alive.

O Que Posso Compartilhar com Anfitriões

Pancakes made from scratch.
Willingness to accompany you to that thing or place you'd been meaning to go for forever.
