"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.”
Jack Kerouac

I am a 22 year old engineering student itching to explore every corner of the world. I want to meet new people and share experiences with anyone, whether strangers or friends. I want to experience as much of the world as I can with whatever resources I have available. I am an open-minded individual who is always willing to try something new and unique.

I am a bike enthusiast and currently on a cycling tour from New Paltz, NY to Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to experience the world for what it is, immerse myself into the culture of the place I am visiting. I want to experience what a local experiences, even if the conditions or reality may not be pleasant. Exploring and experiencing a city, country, or location involves meeting new people and seeing what the place has to offer, from good to bad. A travel experience is significantly limited if one stays in hotels and only visits landmarks and tourist attractions. What better way to see a place than to stay with a friendly local that knows the place the best and willingly accepts travelers.

Interests

Although I do not watch sports often, I love to play any sport. I am an avid rugby and soccer player and a big fan of hockey.
