CURRENT MISSION

Stop being a lawyer & travel more while building my life in NYC

ABOUT ME

I'm a bit of a chronic vagabond but I finally settled in NYC after a few years in Budapest and Oman with lots of travel in between. I still get out of the USA every chance I can!

As a traveler/guest, I'm:
- independent and can fend for myself
- not a morning person/always sleep in
- very clean, especially in the bathroom
- always take my shoes off indoors
- go out at night pretty often but come in quietly if I'm out late
- quiet at home
- can't carry my suitcase up lots of stairs (neck/arm pain problem)

I thrive on exploring new environments, learning new languages, and being outdoors, especially near mountains or water. I like hiking, climbing, scrambling, roaming, roadtripping, being in places where i can breathe and doing things that make my heart pound sincerely. I dislike frivolous small talk and have little talent for it. I'm an excellent navigator and a terrible storyteller. As a guest/traveler, I'm very independent and don't need to be "hosted" full-time, though I absolutely hope to get to know my hosts and guests on a level beyond superficial.

PHILOSOPHY

Be good.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been surfing couches since 2006 and am now trying to host as much as possible since I've settled down for a while. Please don't hesitate to ask if you're coming to Muscat.

Interests

Teach, Learn, Share

I prefer learning to teaching - but if there's something I can teach you we'll probably find out what that is when we meet.
