Surfing Request RULES At this time I am only able to host one night at a time. I am not able to give out a key to my building so timing and schedules need to be held. I have one dog so please be aware that this means this house wakes up early (Around 7 AM at the latest) ------------------------------------------- I'm a pretty happy guy who smiles a lot and enjoys a social atmosphere. I have also been very lucky in my travels. I recently moved to Boston and look forward to hosting travelers on the east coast! Since this is supposed to be short and sweet I think I will leave it at. I host quiz on Monday in downtown Boston. Happy to take surfers to the quiz and beyond. Due to my job allowing me to work remotely I can at times join surfers at the start of their day; however, this would need to often be set up ahead of time. PHILOSOPHY Go with the flow when everything is working. Get up and change things when they aren't. When you lend a hand, give a smile, never expect one.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing
I have had the good fortune to host international students and road trip travelers at my place. I love hearing stories and showing off my amazing city. I have also used couchsurfers during my trips though Western & Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa, The Middle East, and South America.
Música, películas y libros
I am a huge movie fan and used to have them all listed on here, but that list had become over 200 films so I figured I would just say that I am a really big movie buff, and recently I have been going through a classic movie phase with films like The Four Feathers (Original), Gunga Din, and Casablanca. My music list is somewhat diverse; however, it leans towards pop electronic; however, my other interests include my current Pandora stations which are The Script, Alan Doyle, Lisa Kelly, Enrique Iglesias, Marky Mark & The Funky Bunch, Books have been a long time passion of mine; however, I would be lying if I said I was reading a lot as of late. Most of my reading is travel books and memoirs. One of my favorites is the memoir of Ibn Battuta who is a personal hero of mine as he is, in my opinion, the greatest traveler to have ever lived.
Una cosa increíble que he hecho
I have climbed Mount Olympus in Greece.
Lo que puedo ofrecer a los hosts
My love for Pub Quiz / Sports / History and Social Events. Every week I can promise a fun event. Weekends are big sports watching / outdoor activities times for me. Social events are always going on so no problems adding them to the calendar.
Mis intereses
As I said above I am pretty involved with bar entertainment. I host Monday nights and have been hosting these events in some form or the other for the past 7 years. I also now work as a full time recruiter and trainer for two companies that provide the events to bars. I also enjoy the outdoors; however, distance from and lack of a car has made connecting with nature a difficult task. I would welcome most opportunities to engage in a day hike if the opportunity presents itself to me! Like many my age and gender I have fallen in love with video games. That said I don't really engage them as a group activity like some and prefer to play solo games. I am not opposed to people playing my games and enjoy watching others play. I love and respect history and those that consume it. My undergraduate degree was in archaeology and I have traveled to many of the most famous sites and digs in the world to allow myself to understand and witness the modern evidence of our amazing history. I enjoy sports and can talk about it for as long as my friends and family can stand it. That said I am a lover of all sports and recently have been getting more into cricket. That said my main sports at American Football, Fútbol, Baseball, Boxing, and the Olympics.
