CURRENT MISSION

To see as many places as I can, meet as many people as I can, and learn as much as I can about life in general.

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in upstate NY but always traveled, even in my younger years because of a burning desire to see what else is out there, and make friends along the way. I have lived in either Philadelphia, New York, Louisiana, LA, or San Francisco off and on among other places, and stayed in Italy when I was 16 as an exchange student. In 2011 I did a help exchange program in Switzerland for a little over a month and did an Ironman triathlon while I was there. My friends would describe me as a goofy and energetic guy who's always doing something wacky.

PHILOSOPHY

Never stop growing, but never grow up

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think the great part of couchsurfing is meeting new and interesting people, so I try to do my part by being hospitable to them and also to bring my good vibes to people who are willing to host me

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The last 2 places I have lived had 2 couch surfers each so that's how I became aware of it. I surfed in montreal with my most recent roommates and had a total blast meeting the local people and having a much more interesting and personal travel experience than we would have had otherwise. In Iceland I couch surfed with 2 different sets of people who made it a lot more fun to circumnavigate the country by bike. While living in Pittsfield, MA, couchsurfing helped connect me with a few other people in the area. My roommates and I also hosted a lovely girl from denmark.

If you ever wanted to get into swimming, biking, or running, I could help. I was the president of the triathlon club at college and have been racing for years. I also carry a hacky sack with me everywhere, and I've played guitar since I was 10.
