About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live, Love, Laugh

ABOUT ME

Hey there .. I'm a 28 year old dude born into a large Irish-American family. I currently live in Bernardsville, NJ walking distance to a train stop that connects to NYC. I work as an IT Manager at a public library and graduated from Rutgers University. I have a degree in Psychology and Economics. I enjoy the fundamental things of life, love being a tour-guide and try to help out as best as I can. I hope to own my own house within a couple of years and I love traveling all over the world.

PHILOSOPHY

"Choose a job you love, and you'll never have to work a day in your life." My personal philosophy is to not take life too seriously. A wise man once told me that as long as you have your health, everything else is just small stuff. People get too caught up in their own lives and dramas and just don't go with the flow. Go with the flow, take things as they come, and you'll find yourself living a life of happiness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am spreading the word! CS is the way to go! Why get a hotel room when you can enjoy being a guest with someone who knows the area and can help you out without a problem? Best of all, maybe save a little money.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing experience was in Hertford, England just outside of London. My friends and I stayed with a fantastic couple and it was the best experience ever. They were very hospitable and we really got along very well. Since then I've stayed in Maryland and that was very convenient and a pleasant experience as well. I've also hosted once and had such a great time with my guest. CS is the way to go!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've travelled all over the USA -- I've seen the Rocky Mountains, the Blue Ridge Mountains I've gone to Tijuana Mexico and even the great back roads of Maine. I've seen Ireland from head to toe and saw William Wallance land in Scotland. I've travelled all over England, toured the reknowned Oxford University and got an eye on London.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an IT Manager. I know a lot about Computers, Networking, Web Design, and Technology in general. I also studied Economics and Psychology for four-years at a great University. I would say I'm pretty well educated and well-rounded, and could probably teach you a thing or two.
