About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To fit as much fun into my life as I can before getting in boats designed to sink!

ABOUT ME

I am an easy going guy, and I love to meet new people! Interacting with people is the best way to learn more about each other and the world and I consider it a privilege to be able to experience new points of view!

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live!! We all have problems, and no one has so few they should be taking the time to judge others instead of making themselves better or helping others to be better!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been involved with the community through Facebook and Charleston's ambassador James Banicar for about 7 months but only just recently set up a real CS account!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed in DC and NYC on my way from Charleston to Groton, SC and had an amazing time. I won't be ready to host people for a while due to my job but the program is awesome. Both of my hosts were phenomenal and I can't wait to continue exploring the CS community!

Interests

Pretty much anything outdoors, specifically on or near the water!! I love to sea kayak, hike, camp, boating, photography, just about anything that gets me off the couch and out and about. Enjoy the nightlife, music, and cocktails at a good bar with great people!!

Music, Movies, and Books

Not a big horror fan, or scream-o type musics, but pretty much everything else goes, especially if it is something new to me!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A sunset cruise off the coast of Cabo san Lucas, Mexico, with dolphins playing and an open bar with soothing mexican music.

Looking out across the Bavarian Alps in Germany was amazing!

The absolutely selflessness of poverty stricken people in the Dominican Republic, absolutely humbling.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to talk, so just about anything goes when it comes to learning and teaching!
