About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Spending as much time as possible with the people that make me

ABOUT ME

Very active. If it involves running, jumping, kicking, climbing, skipping, strumming, swinging, grooving or moving in anyway I am down to try it and probably already have. I keep an open mind and am nice to everybody I come in contact with.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat people the way you would want to be treated and respect the planet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travel a lot for work. I can't host right now, but want to surf because I am sick of sterile, unfriendly hotels anymore. I would rather meet someone and make a new friend and get tips about what to do with my free time from a local.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Used a very similar website called Warm Showers designed specifically for touring cyclists. I rode from Fort Myers, FL to Lewiston, ME and stayed with a bunch of people I met on that site. I was amazed by how friendly and generous and interesting and fun people can be with someone they've never met. From that point on I was hooked on couch surfing.

Interests

soccer, basketball, climbing, squash, biking, riding my scooter, being competitive, running, swimming, hiking, camping, snowboarding, guitar, working on my bike, dancing, reading self-help books, meeting new people, being with family (I have a big family on each side), shopping at thrift stores, and finding new things to try and learn.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing a trail in Zion national park called Angel's Landing. One of the most frightening and exhilirating things I've experienced in my life. And amazing views.

Planned and rode a 41 day bicycle tour from Florida to Maine. The best way to experience a place and its people is from the seat of a bike. I plan to do more trips like that.
