About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet interesting people and discover new places.

ABOUT ME

I am originally from Ohio - grew up and went to college there - and I am a real Midwest guy at heart: laid back, easy going, and sincere. After living in DC, France, and Boston for periods of time, I've recently re-settled in southern New Hampshire for a new job and a new adventure.

PHILOSOPHY

dont take life too seriously...death, on the other hand, take that seriously

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed a handful of couches in Europe and the US - had some great experiences. Everyone I encountered in my CS travels was very genuine and warm. In Boston, I hosted the occasional surfer with along with roommates.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Same as above. I've found the whole CS experience very rewarding. I think the best way to travel is to open yourself up to local people and be willing to have adventures.

Music, Movies, and Books

big film buff, from truffaut to the marx brothers ive got a passion and an opinion. always reading something, usually history. big into music, maybe some beatles, silver jews, or magnetic fields - that sounds pretty cool.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i think i've been pretty lucky and have done some amazing things. for example, i just ate a really great banana.
