*****PLEASE NOTE*****
!!!! I no longer live in Cambridge or Brighton!!! (I still get requests there, 7 years after leaving lol)
But if you want any advice on places to visit or things to see when there, then please don't hesitate to ask but I'm afraid I can't host there anymore.
-I currently live in London.

Also, not sure how relevant these days, but I'm double vaxxed and triple boosted for Covid-19.

While I was born in the USA (Boston), I've grown up between the states and Europe, living abroad for the last decade (minus Covid times).

I've traveled to 35 countries, learned a few languages, and actively tried to engage in culture exchanges and expanding my understanding and expression in this world.

I've been told that I'm quiet a caring, relaxed kind of guy, that probably likes to talk a bit too much. :P I'm quite an open person, always looking to engage with someone and share a story or two. I also love to cook, write and read, and just generally enjoy life whenever and wherever I'm able.

If you have any questions directly, I will happily answer any!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I love to travel and love sharing and creating memories!

I love learning about different countries and cultures, and I love having more and more friends from all around the world!

Also, as I writer I'm always finding some inspiration for my many screenplays and writing endeavours!

As far as why I'm hosting on Couchsurfing, you may have noticed that my profile has a preference towards hosting women. That's not a coincidence, but rather an intention that's in line with my own ideology. Since I started using this site I've heard soooo many negative stories, experiences, and situations that women were subject to when Hosted by men. I started using this site in 2015, and the very first thing I was told by the woman who introduced it to me has always rung true- "It's not a dating site. It's not travel-Tinder. It's a place to make life-long friends from all over the world". As a life-long feminist, I've decided to actively create and facilitate a space where women can surf, travel, and explore the world without fear or concern of disrespectful and predatory men.
*Note- I have no issue hosting men/NBs, but my preference is towards hosting women as a means of creating and facilitating a safe space.*

I would encourage you to take a look at some of my references; experienced members like Leilane or Anna, to newer members like Zoe and Anais. This space is something I'm actively and intentionally working to create, and I look forward to hosting you and continuing to build upon it as well!

Interests

Jeez.... I'm told I have far too many, I've always got some plates spinning!

Writing; mainly film/tv screenplays and two books- extra points if you're keen to hear about them! ;)

Also reading; mostly fiction/fantasy, video games; God, all sorts. But my favorites include World of Warcraft and Skyrim, t.v. and movies, fitness...and, I mean, much more.

I like to stay busy...:P

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Idk about 'amazing' but I find it noteworthy: I managed to survive a fatal car accident; resulting in a 4 week coma, sever brain damage, lung damage, nearly total memory loss, full body paralysis, and permanent eye damage, to reach optimal health and happiness; traveling the world, earning multiple degrees, and exploring/expressing myself further every day!
A day doesn't go by in which I'm not effected, influenced, or impacted by those struggles, as they continue to guide me forward.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach unnecessary historical facts that underpin people, places, and things. :P

Learn about your culture, who you are, and what you aspire to me!

Share tasty food, life stories, and travel experiences.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Any and all experiences they're willing to share; deep conversation on various topics, bore you with screenplays I'm writing/workshopping, as well as various weird/random historical info.

Not to mention my pretty great culinary skills. :D
