CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I currently live in Boston and am about to embark on the first of my final three semesters in college. After waiting far too long to move out of my mother's house, I am finally able to open my new apartment up to all who find themselves passing through this fantastically eclectic city.

To be upfront, I'm an openly gay man. I'm also a generous, responsible, friendly, enthusiastic, silly, intelligent, humorous, and caring man. Just so you're aware of what you'd be getting into if staying with me...

I must say, I'm not a huge fan of the "About me" section, as it can seem trite and self-serving. If I meet your fancy, say hello and we'll show our colors as we talk. Like peacocks.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't look for surprises. That's why they're called surprises.

And live transparently.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have an open couch as well as a sleeping bag, allowing for two to sleep comfortably (though possibly a third if we can and must finagle it). I love meeting new people (yes, cliche) from anywhere and everywhere.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed with people in London and Chicago (both wonderful experiences), and have met people through the site in Boston as well as in Copenhagen.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walked in the Nile River.
Lived in Denmark for a year.
Had one foot on each side of the equator simultaneously.
Stood at the edge of the U.S. and looked out into the nothingness of the sea.
Nearly got swept up in a tornado in Nebraska.
