CURRENT MISSION

Paying it forward

ABOUT ME

I've lived in New Jersey, Virginia, Arizona, Colorado, and Florida. I'm into the outdoors, good people, some drinks from time to time, and of course, good music. I'm also into hiking, climbing, biking (road), running and traveling. I don't like to live anywhere for too long because there is so much to see, and I want to see it all!

PHILOSOPHY

Things will always work out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host and surf, but I suppose I've done more hosting. It makes me happy to help fellow travelers by offering a free, safe place to stay.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One time, in Ireland, my friend and I were sitting at a Pub when the two folks at the table next to us noticed our packs. We told them that we'd been backpacking around Europe for quite some time, and we would be sleeping on the beach that night. They told us that they were renting the beach house across the street, and we were welcome to stay with them! We got our own room and shower!! Anyway, they said that their son was a traveler, and they hoped that people were helping him out like they were helping us out.

I surfed in Telluride, CO for 3 nights, and it was an amazing experience. I made some good friends and got to see one of the most beautiful places on earth.

During my Colorado experience, I hosted and met a lot of really amazing people that I hope to keep in touch with throughout our adventures.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ran with the Bulls in Pamplona with Dennis Rodman and then ate real pizza in Italy! I can't decide which one I think is more amazing...hehe. Honestly, the whole state of Colorado is amazing. I feel truly lucky to have the chance to live and play in such a magical place!
