CURRENT MISSION

My mission...and I choose to accept it, is to see as many countries in my life as possible, meet fascinating people and learn from them.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 39 year old renaissance man. I have a penchant for moving, selling something I own at a profit, wearing a Brooks Brothers bow tie that I bought at a garage sale for a dollar, or jumping into a pick-up game of rugby.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live. Define yourself.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travel a lot so I don't host as much as I'd like.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted twice and couchsurfed once in Carlsbad, New Mexico. Awesome experience!

兴趣

Good food & wine. A good Hefeweizen with a slice of orange. A finely tailored suit. Cashmere sweaters off of eBay. Bargain hunting. Buying for $1, selling for $2 when the value is $3. Win-win!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I've seen the big Jesus in Rio. I've experienced three national revolutions in three different countries. I've been around the world multiple times. I've looked death in the eye and stared it down. I've held a newborn and cried. A baby's giggle is better than Mozart. I've met a Medal of Honor recipient and gotten drunk with him. I've met presidents, had lunch with Gary Kasparov, beautiful souls that live on hand outs and artists that blow my mind.

教，学，和分享

I can learn something from anyone (that has good hygiene).
