I'm embarking on the journey of a lifetime. My goal is to motorcycle cross country from Fair Lawn, NJ to Los Angeles, CA. From there I'm heading to Ushuaia, Argentina. Also known as the "End of the World."

Learning Spanish
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Why not? Looking to meet new and interesting people when I'm not camping or staying at my friend's places along the way.
Music, Movies, and Books
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance was a major influence on me and this trip. I've read many of the classics in literature and philosophy. My favorite book is probably Illusions by Richard Bach. I love films. My favorite directors are: Akira Kurosawa, Ingmar Bergman, Spielberg, Scorsese, Tarantino, Redford, to name just a few. Aside from the greats I also love a really bad film.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Hopefully this trip is the most amazing thing I've done. What comes to mind is the selection of me and my friends to be in the "UpForWhatever" Bud Light Advertisement. We met famous people, starred in a commercial then were flown out to Crested Butte, Colorado for the most epic weekend of our lives.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm more interested in listening and learning then talking and teaching. Though I have a wide range of interests and abilities. Would love to swap knowledge with anyone.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I have a great array of stories but nothing compared to the story I'm embarking on. I'd love to share my adventure. I'm also willing to cook, clean, or help in any way. Most of my happiness comes from making other's happy. Oh and I'm funny. I think. People are always laughing at me. :)
My Interests
This category could go on forever. I grew up playing any sport I could. I love films, books, art, architecture, music, food, the outdoors and challenging myself.
