I'm an open minded and generally positive person. I love seeing new places and meeting new people. I come from a small island in the upper left corner of the US where there I have the best tribe of people I could imagine. I've been working as a bartender for the past five years but this year am opening my own pre-made meal delivery business. In my free time I enjoy cooking with and for friends, hiking, hanging out at the local brewery or going on an adventure with friends. We're a weird bunch but we have a good time and we're almost always laughing.

I'm traveling Italy for all of March and will be moving in to a new home when I'm done traveling. So I am currently unavailable as a host. As soon as I'm settled in back home next month my couch will be open.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I love the thought of creating memories through shared experiences and I don't like to do the usual tourist thing - guided tours, tours busses, etc.

I also live in an incredible place and can't wait to show people what the island has to offer.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a lover of music. Doesn't really matter what kind, there's something in pretty much every genre that I enjoy.

I like to read science books - evolution, genetics and biochemistry are my favorite subjects. I also enjoy fiction, SciFi and fantasy, but if it's boring I'll put it down.

For movies I enjoy comedy, action and thriller. The occasional Western when I'm in the mood is good too. I hated Breakfast at Tiffany's. Apparently this is a deal breaker to some.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've flown an airplane. True story. No one died.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to cook an awesome meal out of just a few ingredients.

I love learning new things of any kind. Music. Food. Random facts. Skills. Perspectives.

I can share a bottle of wine, a meal and laughs any time.

What I Can Share with Hosts

humor, English, basic cooking skills, my stories, a bottle of wine
