CURRENT MISSION

I think I'm doing it

ABOUT ME

I had lived in NYC for the past 11 years working away with my careers, but (like many New Yorkers) lost my job due to the financial crisis in January of 2009. Seeing as how the "experts" were predicting a recession to last all of 2009, and as I love to travel, decided to take off for 1 year and tour the world!

PHILOSOPHY

Sometimes the things that seem too good to be true, are in fact, true

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

RIght now I'm traveling, but of course will be happy to offer my couch for visitors once I return home.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

Traveling, of course. I'm a history enthusiast so everyplace I travel to, try to learn about the history there. Also love hiking, biking, snow boarding, scuba diving, sky diving (ok, only did that once but still was interesting!)
