ABOUT ME

Couchsurfing was great to me during my six month rtw trip and now it's time to start returning the favor. I just need a bigger place.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let die, the song not the movie

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Dove with whales in the Coral Sea during an unforgettable liveaboard dive trip to the Great Barrier Reef. Either that or getting a police (old friend) escort to the heart of Times Square just as the ball was about to drop on New Year's. Sorry but I can't choose just one.

Teach, Learn, Share

I hope to learn Spanish and anything else the few brain cells I haven't drowned yet can seep in during my six months off from (scratch that), my six months of joining the real world.
