CURRENT MISSION

Explore Europe!

ABOUT ME

I live in New York City, one of the greatest places on earth! I'm happy to give anyone and everyone advice and tours - just ask!

As for me, I'm an easy-going, open-minded, optimistic and outgoing guy. I love freedom, adventure, and traveling, which is why everything I own fits into two suitcases. I am constantly organizing events, whether it be group trips to try out exotic restaurants, huge movie nights using a projector, or just an afternoon on the roof deck enjoying drinks with friends.

I love meeting people and experiencing different cultures, and I love helping people to experience New York. I've taken the next three months off from work to explore Europe, so if you have any suggestions for things I simply must see while there, please send them my way!

PHILOSOPHY

I discovered an amazing thing a few years back: the more I help others without expecting things back, the more I get helped in return. I'm always amazed at how this works...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved to New York City - without a job, without a place to live, and without knowing anyone there. Turned out to be the best experience I've ever had!

Other cool experiences I've been lucky enough to have:

--scuba diving in the Caribbean and the Pacific Ocean
--flying in a private plane over the Cliffs of Dover, across the English Channel, and into France
--cruising a Parisian-style river boat around Manhattan island
--skiing in the Rocky Mountains

Teach, Learn, Share

I would be happy to share knowledge on building websites. I've been lucky enough to work on some of the largest websites in the world (see www.trollan.com for my portfolio) with some of the most talented developers around - people who've written the books on the subject. I'm happy to share that knowledge with fellow CouchSurfers!
