CURRENT MISSION

To make my life extraordinary

ABOUT ME

My best friend Andrew and I came to Europe to be TAs for a summer program at Oxford U and decided to leave 6 weeks early in order to travel a little bit. We are US Marine veterans and we each served multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Currently, we are students at Columbia University in New York City. We are also on the rowing team and would love to get some time in boats if at all ever possible! We are hoping to have an unforgettable experience!

We are tolerant, down to earth, driven, and AMBITIOUS guys. We want to live remarkable lives with unforgettable experiences. We're SUPER easy to get along with, we love to make people laugh, and we can see humor in anything. We are family oriented, we absolutely love our friends, and we both have one big sister. In our spare time, Andrew likes to listen to Taylor Swift while I watch videos of kittens on YouTube.

PHILOSOPHY

No one is perfect but everyone should be accountable for their actions. Everyone can learn something from anyone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

OUTSTANDING! Such incredible people out there! Traveling is made by the people you meet on your journey and CS makes it so easy! In my opinion it is the difference between a trip being ordinary and extraordinary. I have surfed all over America and would be happy to tell you all about my wonderful and beautiful country! :-)

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a huge movie person. I love 'em all! My favorites are Saving Private Ryan, Stepbrothers, The Holiday, Snatch, and 28 days later. I read huge amounts of material for school and I like music but I'm not passionate about it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did two tours in Iraq as a grunt (infantryman) on the front-line and I rode a motorcycle coast to coast.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about the military and I have extensive military training. I am a good writer, snowboarder, and am knowledgable in nutrition and weight lifting. I would like to learn more about cooking and if you can teach me blues harmonica you have an automatic yes to stay on my couch.
