I graduated spring 2014 from FSU with a MA in philosophy. I turned down the opportunity to continue on through the PhD program, moved from Florida to Portland, ME, and am currently pursuing a career in software engineering.

My wife, Allie and I love experiencing new places and meeting new people. We love wandering and seeing what we can see, and would prefer to really get a feel for a place to seeing every tourist landmark.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Travel has always been on our agenda but can be so ridiculously expensive! Couchsurfing seems like a great way to cut costs, and we love the idea of bringing back hospitality culture!

Me and my wife want to explore on our own some of the time, but we also love to meet new people and do things with them.

If we ever have the ability we'd also love to host people up here in Portland. It is a great city with an amazing food scene (more resteraunts per capita than any other US city!), and great access to scenic New England hotspots.

教，学，和分享

I am more than happy to talk about philosophy (actual philosophy, not pop-philosophy). Just ask my wife =]

I love learning, anything, everything. Your passion in it is enough to spark my interest in it!

We just moved to Portland but I'd love to show you what we've found so far! There are some great restaurants around here.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

We don't have a lot of money, but we are more than happy to share experiences with a host who would like to spend a bit of time with us.
