My wife and I just got married in June, went on honeymoon to Italy and Switzerland, moved out of NYC, and are starting a new chapter in Buffalo, NY. I'm looking for new opportunities, and Tess is working at a charter school in the city. We are easygoing folk that love music, friends and good beer (best when combined). I'm excited at the prospect of exploring how my hometown has changed, and to show people the amazing things Buffalo has to offer!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Every time I've met someone in a different part of the world, we have shared something valuable. I'd like to continue to make that happen!

Interests

Bike touring has become a recent fixation of mine - my recent summers have been spent biking to Montreal and biking in Iceland. I also love to play music (piano, guitar, sax) with my fiancé and come up with ideas for skits that never get acted out.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sat in my grandpa's boat off the coast of Boston with a bologna sandwich in hand and watched a pod of whales breach all around the boat.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hopefully plenty of interesting stories, and good companionship. I'm also a passable cook (ahem), and my girlfriend and I have a habit of breaking the guitar out and singing with people wherever we go. Can't wait to see how you live and enjoy life!
