CURRENT MISSION

To meet as many people, in as many places as humanly possible to gain a broader perspective

ABOUT ME

I am a restless soul. I was born in Syracuse, NY and have lived in Michigan, Tennessee and now California. I suppose other than just being curious/adventurous I would like to see as many different places as I can, both internationally and within the U.S. I enjoy nightlife, the outdoors, running, weightlifting and powerlifting, snowboarding, bowling and many other things. One of my goals with traveling is to gain a broader perspective. Some of the places on the top of my list are, Scotland, Germany, Australia and Italy, but there are a lot more on the list!

PHILOSOPHY

I think we're all in this life together. We should try to help each other out when we can, and hope (not expect) the same in return. I guess the whole karma thing sums it up. I like my life and feel every day can be a new adventure but many times you have to go looking for it.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't get many surfers in my area, but I am happy to host when I can, and even if I can't due to work or travel, I am always willing to help someone out whatever way I can. The first time I hosted, I hosted five international students from four different countries and I was sold!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have stayed in a "Palace" in Spain that was absolutely amazing. I have also stayed on a boat in Long Beach, CA, which was a lot of fun! The experiences you will have and the people you will meet with CS is just amazing.

音乐、电影和书籍

I like a huge variety of movies and music, but my taste in books is more specific. For movies and TV (which I really don't have much time for), I like comedies, suspense/thrillers, oddball movies, like Big Lebowski and especially movies that make you think (Butterfly Effect, for example). My favorite book is The Great Gatsby, but for more modern books I like Hunger Games, A Song of Fire and Ice (Game of Thrones), and technologically involved books by authors like Michael Crichton and James Rollins.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Several years ago I went on a 7400mi roadtrip across the US on my motorcycle. It took me across a broad variety of landscapes, meeting an eclectic combination of people and rekindled old friendships. I had a lot of experiences to learn from, including almost rnunning out of gas in the middle of a state park, being on the verge of heatstroke riding across west Texas, hiking the Grand Canyon, cruising through the Rocky Mountains and discovering local beers across the states.

教，学，和分享

I have learned in my travels that you will meet all kinds of people everywhere and seeking out the good ones is top priority! I have also learned (the main reason I joined CS) that locals are the best way to see a place.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

At the moment my wife and I share a small apartment, so I can only offer what little knowledge I have of the area. That being said, we are up for exploring with you!
