CURRENT MISSION

Inspired by a visit to Portugal in November 2016, I've started studying Portuguese. I'm working on the Brazilian variety, and hope to visit that country sometime soon.

ABOUT ME

I'm a pretty laid back guy. A geek for sure, I spend too much time on the computer for work and play, but I enjoy disconnecting too. My passions are traveling and languages--all the better when these two intersect. I enjoy meeting new folks, particularly when we're speaking something other than English ;-). Love international cuisine, music and film.

PHILOSOPHY

Live, learn, love

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm just getting started on CS. I've hosted once and have been hosted once, and went to a few CS events when visiting Paris last summer. I met great folks there that I still keep in touch with.
