CURRENT MISSION

To travel, to learn, and to experience the world first hand.

ABOUT ME

My ethnic heritage is irish and hungarian. I love architecture, art and music. With out music it would be hard for me to get through the day. I play guitar a bit. I have a sense of humor and love to joke around. I like watching some sports and love to play rugby and go snowboarding. I like to travel, and want to see a lot more of the world. I am currently studying abroad for the spring semester in Florence, Italy. I like to read, but wish I read more.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is to learn, not just through school, but through personal experience. I live my life to better myself and those around me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am very new to Couch Surfing. Some friends of mine from home suggested I make an account so make travel more fun. I would like to host surfers for coffee or a drink, but my roommates don't want overnight guests.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Renting bikes in Amsterdam when we were hosted-was an amazing way to see the city.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been to a few Music festivals-lolapalooza and bonnaroo. Those music festivals were some of the most exciting and fun times in my life. Bonnaroo was a huge open field in southern Tennesee (US) with about 80,000 people camping out, having fun and enjoying great music. I'm currently studying in Florence Italy and this city is beautiful. The first night I walked the city. When I came off one of the main streets into the piazza when the cathedral of santa maria del fiore is located I was filled with awe. No picture in any architecture/art history class can compare to seeing such a beautiful structure in person.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a bit about architecture, and art. I know a bit about beer; my friends and I brewed beer this past summer(a pretty good amber lager). I know how to have a good time.
