About Me

CURRENT MISSION

A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving. ~Lao Tzu

ABOUT ME

I'm easy going, respectful, living every day to it's fullest. I am pescatarian (vegetarian +fish).Born in Connecticut and have lived in Costa Rica, Barcelona, Spain and San Diego, California. I am a traveler, not a tourist.. I prefer to experience what it's like to live in a place rather than just see all the attractions.

PHILOSOPHY

"Always give without remembering and always receive without forgetting."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host regularly when I'm not racing and couch surf a couple times a year.. You'll also find me at the occasional CS meeting..

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I just returned from a 45 day bicycle tour all over Europe. Started in London, rode in France, Belgium, The Netherlandz, Denmark, Sweden and Germany.. 2200+ kilometers... Couch Surfing most of way.. :) It was an amazing ride, I've met so many interesting people and had so many terrific experiences... THANK YOU CS!

Interests

For fun I fly airplanes / helicopters, ride and race bicycles, listen to live music, watch improv comedy shows, play guitar, relax with friends and travel.
