About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Providing couch kickassness and making international friends!!!

ABOUT ME

I live life to the fullest, and trying new things everyday is what I am all about. I lived with two great roommates in the heart of Prague and together we got to know Prague inside and out.
After college, as other friends of mine have done, we left our shell at home and decided to make a nice life abroad and loving every moment of it.

Now I live in Zurich Switzerland, a wonderful little country!!

PHILOSOPHY

Live life as much as you can everyday. Without this, the world would be pretty dull. I believe that if you open your doors, and help those in need, karma takes care of the rest, and that's why it's always good to be a good person to all people!!!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I with my roommates Nick and Patrick always hosted surfers in Prague and loved meeting new people and experiencing new things. My roommates and I had been hosting for months and had had upwards of 40+ surfers, all with great experiences... I always am hospitable and will help in anyway possible to make it fun.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed only a few times but the experiences have been great, I loved meeting new people, and I always tend to cook dinner for them the first night to show my appreciation for their hospitality. This program is great, and I always try to make it even better.!!

Interests

Everything that is fun and new. Spending time with friends, rock climbing, reading a good book, and going out for a drink. It's the new things I really enjoy, and meeting new people from new cultures is always my favorite.

Music, Movies, and Books

Clockwork Orange, gladiator, into the wild, bronson, rise of the foot soldier, and many many more!!! My favorite book is The Brothers Karamzov, it's a hard read though! My second favorite book is Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance. Bill Bryson is great!! But I am unfortunately a slow reader. Maybe I am just lazy, but I do make steady progress.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing down the Austrian Alps was amazing!!!
I opened the door to a church in Dresden and heard the Choir singing, what a moving and touching moment in such a wonderful and historic church.
