About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Exploring Northeast PA

ABOUT ME

PA native; new to Luzerne County.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to meet other Couchsurfers in the area or hang out with travelers coming through NEPA. I live with two other guys in a house, so I can't host, but I can show you around Sundays and Mondays. If you're coming through and want some ideas about what to see, let me know.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some great trips in Turkey. I was teaching English there and had never used Couchsurfing until a trip with two friends. It was a great way to learn a little more about my temporary home.

The highlight so far has been a trip to Kusadasi. A friend and I met up with a Couchsurfer who shared her favorite hobby with us --- snorkeling! We relaxed with some beers one night, snorkeled the next and hung out with her family.

Interests

- Practicing my Spanish
- Checking out the great state parks around here. I've visited Ricketts Glen, Frances Slocum, Nescopeck, Hickory Run, and my favorite, the Lehigh Gorge.
- Sometimes... cleaning the house. It feels great to look at your nice, clean bedroom or kitchen, right?? Don't worry, I will not try to do this with you if you visit.

Music, Movies, and Books

I recently saw "Argo" and loved it.
Read "How I Became a Famous Novelist," by Steve Hely.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Camel wrestling near Selcuk, Turkey. I never knew camels could do that.

When I'm visiting a place and stop at the end of the day and think 'This is probably the last time I will ever be here.'

Teach, Learn, Share

If you visit on a Thursday, you can come to trivia night and learn something there.
