About Me

Hello fellow surfers,

A little about me.. I grew in Massachusetts where I worked and went to school. When I was 26 I took a new position that moved me down to the Washington DC area.

In 2014 I quit my job for a life of Travel. Since then I have been in several countries such Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Colombia, Indonesia, ect ect.

The traveling life has done me well. Opening my mind to new cultures, cuisines, people and so much. I have a deep appreciation for the people I have met along the way and the places I've been. I would like to think that I am enjoyable to be around and would be very grateful for any hospitality sent my way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and like minded people.

To help continue my travels in a more economic fashion.

I believe you get what you put in, and would like to one pass it forward.

Music, Movies, and Books

My music preference is very wide. I also grew up in the 90's so I have a deep appreciation for time in music.

Movies.. to many to count. Here is a few:
Good Will Hunting, Shawshank Redemption, Departed, old Disney movies

I am a huge Game Of Thrones nerd, and am proud to admit it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Playing basketball with locals in a small village in the Philippines (on an active volcano). Although there was a language barrier we were able to play full games. It seems small but this is up there with one the highlights in my life.

After the games, I sent them new basketballs.

Teach, Learn, Share

Always moving, always learning.
