Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Adapting to my new life in Italy
ABOUT ME
I'm originally from the United States and I have a lot of pride in where I came from. Although I love were I am from, I really love where I am at. I am new to the area and I still have a lot to learn, but I am a fun loving guy and I like meeting new people. I am pretty relaxed guy that enjoys a good beer and a good laugh.
PHILOSOPHY
I try not to hide the way I feel about people or things. I love to sit down and learn about people, where they grew up, how they grew up, and all about them. Most of all, I befriend people I can sit down, have a beer and share a laugh with. If having a TV in the room is the only way to survive a night with you, we're probably not the best combo.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I think CS is an excellent opportunity to facilitate travel for those who wouldn't be able to go otherwise, meanwhile providing an excellent opportunity to spread good will. I love meeting new people and learning other ways of life, so I see this as a great chance.

I really want to start this process, I've seen the process and its something that's fun and interesting.
