ABOUT ME

I love meeting new people. There's no shortage of cool people in the world!

I moved to West Virginia about 7 months ago to conduct research for a film about rural meth addiction. I will be wrapping that up by the end of June and at that point, don't know where I'll be yet!

I grew up outside of Boston, moved to NYC for college, and have been roaming the mountains of WV ever since. Colorado and Costa Rica somewhere in the middle there. Not a bad life!

PHILOSOPHY

"Lo! The Bird is on the Wing."
-Omar Khayyam

This basically means, (to completely disparage 19th century poetry), "get your shit together because time is short."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I first moved to Dublin, Ireland for my study abroad in college, I didn't know where to go, what to do or who to hang out with. Luckily, right when I joined the Dublin CS group I was invited to a house party, so my first weekend in Dublin was spent at a "Fetish-themed" party at some rando house in Dubbers. Needless to say, I immediately bonded with a really great group of people! Uhh, no pun intended.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Lost in Translation, Garden State, Josie and the Pussycats, Twister, Donnie Darko
I get a lot of crap from my friends because my taste in movies is rather unconventional for someone who studied the art of film making. Whatever, they're amazing movies, get over it.

Books: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Harry Potter, The Superior Person's Book of Words

Music: Almost anything. No, really!
