About Me

I have two friends crashing in my living room at the moment who are trying to get back on their feet after having been evicted and losing their jobs during the covid-19 pandemic. So for the foreseeable future I am unable to host additional people.

Live in Philadelphia and work in New Jersey

I decided to live the travel dream while I was still young enough to not need a bed. Little by little, I explored the world. I am a 35 year old American currently in the USA again. I was out for 14 years. Things have changed. Planning my next adventure and saving up for this one

Friends say I'm funny, interesting and good to talk with so I'll leave it at that. Meh, hate these about me things.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything is normal yet nothing is normal

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Gave it a try in Singapore and again in Australia. Met some cool people and made new friends. It's a great way to meet people when you've been on the road a while. Finally starting to slow down a bit so I've started hosting people. I have a odd work schedule though so don't expect me home before 9pm most nights but I'll be around till 10am or 11am

Interests

Sailing (in a real sailboat,no motor or nothing!), reading, snorkeling/diving, driving, travel, people, dogs, cats, animals, seeing those sights that no one else see's and generally seeing new things.

And talking. I love talking to people

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The coolest thing I can think of having seen was when I was in a C-130 heading to South America and we flew over a hurricane just south of Florida. That was a sight.

And many others, can talk about it.
