CURRENT MISSION

To gain some perspective and find things other than my job to capture my imagination.

ABOUT ME

I have a strong sense of community. I enjoy intellectual exercises, engaging conversation, creating an environment where people feel comfortable to explore ideas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am still figuring this out.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The best summer I had as a teenager was the summer I spent with a friend of the family's in Cape Cod. That was the first summer I spent completely on my own and was given the opportunity to explore the entire Cape. I am still close with some of the people I met on that trip and am deeply appreciative to my family friend who hosted me for a couple of months.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy live music and am a big fan of the Decemberists as a result. Currently Mumford and Sons and the Freelance Whales are what are appearing most often on my play-list. I read a lot(mostly fiction), my favorite author is Neil Gaimon. I enjoy the theater experience, both live and the cinema, but recently haven't found a lot of movies worth watching. My favorite movies include Layer Cake, Up in the Air, and Life Aquatic.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most recently, just appreciating the technological evolution that allows me to be sitting in my favorite coffee shop and be chatting with a friend half way across the world at the same time. The ocean at night, get me every time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love story telling and love to help others cultivate the skill.
