CURRENT MISSION
To be a part of our global community
ABOUT ME
I'm a full-time student, part-time engineer, with a thirst to experience the world and enjoy the company of new people. The world is too small to simple be lazy and do nothing... and I'd rather spend the little money I have on a fun trip than designer clothes and fancy TVs. I live in the Bronx now, right next to a subway that runs through Manhattan/Brooklyn/Queens.
PHILOSOPHY
Happy is the man who wants what he already has.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
About a year ago, one of my best friends had a surfer stay on his couch for a week... with a few of those nights spent in my apartment. Having unrelated visitors, and hearing their perspectives about our respective homes ... I enjoy that.
Interests
I play guitar. I box. I used to play water polo. Possibly going to work for the Dept of Energy, but if that falls through I'm going back to school to become a Marine Biologist. The sea is my passion.
