Travel addict from New Jersey, USA. I love nature, history, hiking, climbing, diving, food, psychedelia, and 90s hip hop (and all other kinds of music too). I’ve worked as an English professor as well as a few other odd jobs to keep me traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I think the true value of traveling is not to see big name tourist sights, but to connect with people of very different backgrounds.
