CURRENT MISSION

Meeting new peeps. Traveling when I can.

ABOUT ME

I was a Peace Corps Volunteer serving in Kazakhstan, and I have traveled around India and Europe. I have a love of languages and meeting people of all kinds. I want to see and experience as much of this earth as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

It's your thang. Do what you wanna do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a couch and a twin bed to offer for those wanting to visit the Albany, NY area. Please note that I do NOT live in or near New York City. NYC is about 2 and a half hours to the south of Albany. Also, please give me some advance notice if you'd like to stay with me. If you tell me that you're going to need a place tonight or tomorrow, it's about 99.9% likely that I won't be able to host you.

If you're staying with me, I just ask that you be courteous and flexible. I have a regular 9-5 job, so any time you spend at my place would need to accommodate my schedule. Also I have a dog.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed in Kazakhstan and host here in Albany.

What I Can Share with Hosts

While traveling and surfing, I have to offer two hands that are adept at washing dishes, vacuuming, mopping, and other various forms of housework. I spent two years living in Kazakhstan, so I can tell you way more than you would ever want to know about that. What I would like, in turn, is to experience and learn about other cultures. I would like to talk about your general way of viewing the world from your own particular cultural standpoint.
