I'm a young professional from the East Coast, looking to explore new city skylines, locally-cherished coffee shops, and a few awe-worthy natural wonders.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Part of the draw of solo-traveling is the solitude to reflect. The greater part is the openness it grants you to meet interesting people and experience new places from their point of view.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - I have a wide range of tastes, as long as the music fits the mood and occasion. For beaching and lazy weekends, I love reggae or new country. For the work grind, I like old school rap or alternative rock.

Movies - I don't watch them often, but my favorite is A Beautiful Mind. I also have a soft spot for my childhood favorite of The Princess Bride, Sandlot, and Fantasia.

Books - These days, I read mostly nonfiction about practical psychology. I love science fiction and believe there is tremendous value in imagining alternative worlds or a distant future. Carl Sagan's The Cosmos may be my favorite book of all.
