About Me

CURRENT MISSION

work less, travel more!

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Queens, NY, graduated from a college upstate and now working for the family business. I travel whenever I get the chance and I love trying new things, most recently bouldering and paddleboarding. During the winter I snowboard almost every weekend and during the summer I hike and spend time outdoors.

PHILOSOPHY

Character is doing what's right when nobody's looking (J.C.W.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The fist time I couch surfed was while visiting Ireland. That Dublin couch was the launch site for an amazing 5 day road trip through half of the country. The second time i surfed was while backpacking through China - my host was really kind and I spent time with a handful of her friends during my stay in Chengdu.

Teach, Learn, Share

There is no such thing as wrong turn or a wrong decision. Life lessons are everywhere if you keep an open mind. Everyday is a new adventure! One of my favorite quotes: "I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be." (D.A)
