CURRENT MISSION

My current mission objective is to live and learn ...

ABOUT ME

I'm a single father to a wonderful little boy. Raising him alone makes my otherwise mundane existence ... meaningful. I'm originally from New York. I enjoy cooking, reading, exercising and playing Xbox with my friends (it's a hobby). I love traveling!! I don't get to do it as often as I'd like to, but I'm definitely trying to change that.

PHILOSOPHY

Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be. ~Thomas à Kempis, Imitation of Christ, c.1420

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Haven't done anything yet. Hoping to provide some travelers with a nice place to crash in one of the most expensive cities in the world. I'm also interested in doing some traveling myself ... so hopefully there will be some comfy couches out there for me as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Will report back when I have had some experiences ...

Interests

Meeting new people, reading, exercising, spending time with my son, cooking, watching movies and having fun.
