About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Breath Lots of Fresh Air and Have Lots of Fun

ABOUT ME

I want to be everywhere at once. I don't like to sleep... especially when there is so much fun to be had and such little time to do it in.
Where to next? I have too many ideas....
Work to live, don't live to work and never wait till tomorrow, it never comes!
I LOVE MY CITY, NYC!!!

PHILOSOPHY

Never be content to waste time. There is too much life and and not enough time.
Don't let work define you.
Don't underestimate your ability, ever.
If you want something, go make it happen, never give up half way, and never let cynics get in the way of exceeding expectation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think its great to share and meeting new people is my favorite thing to do. If I came to NYC and wound up in a Hotel in times square I'd be aimless and missing out on what NY is.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed in Australia before there was a website for it.

Interests

I love the reading in the park, going to every beach in the world, I am a terrible but improving kiteboarder, I love going on adventures to find a food i am craving (like driving 3 hours each way into the mountains to get pizza). I like to talk about ideas and concepts. oh and humor. I like humor.

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have skied cliffs, jumped from 20m into water, kitesurfed in tropical storms, scuba dived in caves, at night and in some amazing locations.
I have seen a grown man cry. I have also seen a day light burglary on a busy city street. Ironically, I have a terrible memory, but I have had countless adventures and many whacky moments.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about NYC. I dont think I qualify as a teacher of any sort.
I want to learn everything you know and find perspective I haven't heard.

Countries I’ve Visited
