CURRENT MISSION

Keep the rock alive.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in New England, spending my time mostly in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. I've attended Cardigan Mountain School, Salisbury School, and Hamilton College, where I majored in economics and minored in Spanish.

I first journeyed outside the United States in the summer of 2004. I went on a homestay program to Rosario, Argentina, and spent a month with a family there. To keep it short, I'll just say, that month was one of the best in my life, and I've wanted to travel ever since.

PHILOSOPHY

A rolling stone gathers no moss.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I joined the CS world in the spring of 2008. Since then I've taken advantage of the network whenever I travel. I have not yet hosted anyone but I look forward to it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Driven a scooter through the busy streets of Rome.

Cycling the streets of London (I do this regularly).

Teach, Learn, Share

I have an incredible knowledge of New England Boarding schools. I've grown up at them, attended them myself, and I may one day return to teach at one.
(I know that's like gathering moss, but remember: teachers get three months off during the summer.)

I can talk ad infinitum about fitness and nutrition. I love it.

Same with beer - I love it.
