I love meeting new people. A few year's ago I backpacked and hitchhiked across the United States from New York down to Key West then to California, up the coast, then returned back to Connecticut. My friend and I hitchhiked, walked, and caught freight trains the whole way. Along our route many strangers picked us up, brought us into their homes, let us use their showers, fed us, and showed us amazing hospitality. I would like to give that back to people traveling through the USA, and also hope to backpack across Europe and visit Mexico in my near future.

My favorite genres of music are alternative, punk, and reggae. I have too many favorite bands to pick just one. If I had to choose ten favorite bands, they would be: Against Me, Sublime (the old stuff), Bob Marley, Rage Against the Machine, Pink Floyd, The Lumineers, Of Monsters and Men, The Monkees, The Animals, and The Doors. I love horror movies, comedy's and some Drama. Some of old favorites are Shawshank Redemption, White Oleander, Almost Famous, and girl interrupted. I've read thousands of books, there a so many talented writers out there. Some of my favorites are Mark Twain, Stephen King, Ann Rice, James Frey, Marni Mann, Christina Baker Kline, Louis Lowry, John Greene, and Jeanette Walls, although those are just a few of them.
