CURRENT MISSION

Eat and make good food, make people laugh, love people, listen to people, and listen to/make good music.

ABOUT ME

I am currently getting my masters degree in opera at the University of Maryland. Aside from the opera degree, I'm a pretty regular/chill guy. I love audio books, cycling, playing guitar, singing, racquetball, squash, classical music, brewing beer, and drinking beer and wine.

I've worked in restaraunts, done a bunch of odd jobs, I was a door-to-door salesman for 80 hours a week for a whole summer, and I want to make my living being a performer/singer.

PHILOSOPHY

Love is the most important thing. Each day is a gift, and the amount of time each of us is given on this earth is very finite, so we owe it to ourselves to use it well.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

IF YOU SEND ME A COUCHREQUEST READ THIS! If you do not send a personal message, I will not accept you. Sorry. Do not a copy and paste a message that you've sent to 5 other people. Your couch request doesn't have to be long, but PLEASE say a couple reasons why you think we would get along.

I don't have a super nice place right now for people to stay at, but I have a couple of nice couches and could probably make something work.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started in December 2011 and used CS a couple of times in the USA. In Summer of 2013, I went backpacking around Austria and Hungary and surfed with some really amazing people! I haven't hosted much because throughout college, I haven't had much room to spare, but my current place has ample couches to stay on.
