About Me

CURRENT MISSION

staying as far away from routine as possible, and experiencing as much as i can.

ABOUT ME

I have lived in Milwaukee, Wis my entire life. I have done a lot of traveling around the US with various bands that I have played with. I was in Italy for 10 days and traveled across much of the country. I like to hang out, drink with my friends, play music, and listen to records. I'm studying sociology and Italian in college, and really want to meet more people from other parts of the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've met a ton of great people all over the US that have given me a place to stay when I was on tour, and I know how valuable it is to have a decent place to sleep when you're far away from home. I have hosted several people from different parts of the world, and additionally offer up my home for touring bands, travels, and friends of friends for years. It's awesome to meet people from all over, and I appreciate anyone with a desire to travel.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a lot of people at my house, and have used couch surfing in the US, England, and Italy. It's a cool way to travel because you are living with someone from that city and not isolating yourself in hotel. It's a great opportunity to learn and experience things that you otherwise wouldn't. And hosting helps you view your city in a unique way, and to appreciate where you come from. In so many words, hotels are expensive and boring. It's so much more rewarding to meet people, hang out, and do something interesting. Couchsurfing is a great way to do that.

Interests

I'm from Milwaukee so I definitely like to drink. I love music, collecting records, and seeing live shows. I have been playing piano since I was about 6 years old, and have picked up a couple of other instruments in the meantime. I also like to participate in athletics, I love watching baseball and football, and I think traveling is one of the most important things in life.
