Hi everyone! I’m Michael! From the US (originally California but now New York). I love striking up conversations with random people, saying yes to spontaneous adventures, and exploring new/exciting/unknown places. Always looking for the next adventure! :)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

At the beginning of April 2018, I quit my job, gave up my apartment, and booked a one-way ticket to Europe in hopes of exploring the world. As much as I love exploring on my own and with other travelers, nothing quite compares to seeing a place and experiencing a culture through the eyes of a local. I'm looking forward to meeting incredible people and sharing ideas, stories, and adventures!

音乐、电影和书籍

Music: Always changing, but there are some constants! Of Monsters and Men, Blind Pilot, Vance Joy, George Ezra, Kygo to name a few

Movies: The Intouchables, National Treasure (absolutely not a joke), Shawshank Redemption, The Dark Knight

Books: I’ve recently been binging on books about how we process information, make decisions, and human (ir)rationality. Would love to talk about some of what I’ve found most fascinating!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Oh man, there are so many incredible things I’ve been fortunate enough to experience in my travels around the world. One that jumps to mind: while traveling around Europe, I spontaneously changed my plans and decided to hitchhike over 7 hours to get to Paris for Bastille Day + the World Cup final. It ended up being one of the most amazing weekends of my life!

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Great travel stories/recommendations. Groan-worthy dad jokes. An open mind :)
