I've not traveled frequently, but hope to do so in the future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Motels suck. Hotels are expensive. If I could meet new friends and learn about a world that's totally different than the one I grew up knowing, that would be great too.

Interests

Interests? Not sure if this counts but I started playing violin in the 1st grade and have performed with the New England Conservatory in Jordan and Symphony Hall as well as in Costa Rica. Not much violin since college started though. Pretty normal interests all around. I picked up BJJ and boxing in college and my dream is to travel the world training the art.

Music, Movies, and Books

Beethoven is pretty good. I don't watch that many movies but have nothing against them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Nearly shat my pants at 6PM in South Ken, London on Halloween after completing one of those "eat this in 10 minutes or less without puking or getting up from your seat and it's free" things at a diner. In this case, "this" was a burger with a couple drops of ghost pepper sauce on it. Big mistake. In case you're wondering, I made out with a free burger, a 20£ meal voucher, free tshirt, and bottle of spiced rum. Promised myself I'd never do that again, as I crawled home. Made for a good story though. Not exactly what I'd consider "amazing", however.
