CURRENT MISSION Make money to travel ABOUT ME I love doing new things, in particular travel. If you ever dreamed of traveling around the world and exploring new places than we will probably get along well. I enjoy trying new foods and restaurants and good beer or a glass of wine. In the summer months I enjoy sailing, hiking, camping, and in general being outdoors. PHILOSOPHY “Travel, I was coming to realize, was a metaphor not only for the countless options life offers but also for the fact that choosing one option reduces you to the parameters of that choice. Thus, in knowing my possibilities, I also knew my limitations.” ― Rolf Potts

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Love to meet new people and feel like I'm traveling and interacting with other cultures while stuck at home. Living/hosting in Philly I've been fortunate to host over 100 people; many from places I've been. I've had a chance to tour Philly with many of them getting to pretend I'm a tourist in my new home. I've also couchsurfed and catch up with my couchsurfers where they live. Overall couchsurfing/hosting has been a wonderful experience.
Music, Movies, and Books
I mostly enjoy non-fiction books, documentaries, and things related to travel. My favorite books include The Call of The Wild, Walden, Band of Brothers, and anything by Bill Bryson. My favorite movie is O Brother Where Art Thou. Favorite show is Les Miserables. U2 is my favorite band.
