Ciao! ειά σου

Looking to see as much of Europe as possible in two weeks this summer.

It's been a few years since I've been able to travel and I'm finally getting back into it.

In 2012 I was able to have the life-changing experience of hosting a group of exchange students from Shanghai, China and the following year I traveled to both Panama and China to study abroad.

Over the years I've maintained many of the relationships I made during these trips and have shown my hosts around the cities of Boston and New York, NY.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was introduced to Couchsurfing through someone I met in the Huangshan mountain range in eastern China. Jason was very enthusiastic about Couchsurfing overall and was so generous that he offered to share his hotel room with the group of backpackers I was with. We ended up spending the following day hiking the mountains with him and although the views were concealed in thick fog it was a great day.

This summer I'm hoping to backpack through Italy, Croatia, and Greece to see the sights, experience new cultures and meet some great people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you show me a good time in your country I'll return the favor back in the USA. I love to see friend's reactions when they see Time's Square or the White Mountains for the first time. The east coast of the United States has so much to offer and explore.
