CURRENT MISSION

To make it to Australia and back in one piece over the next 9 months and get to know some neat people and places along the way

ABOUT ME

I went away on my first international trip 10 years ago and haven't shaken the bug after several other journies to Europe, Asia, Africa and Central America. This year I made it to Puerto Rico which apparently wasn't an exotic enough trip because now I'm off to spend some time in Australia to commemorate the first trip and get to know yet another continent.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At this moment I don't own the place I'm staying in and have a roommate who wakes up early so unfortunately I can't reciprocate by hosting until I get back Stateside...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't have couch surfing experience unless you count staying with friends. I make a point of not being messy and helping out if needed...

Interests

I am a bit of a travel and language learning nerd/junkie. Currently learning some Russian and Chinese and French.

Other interests include working out, sailing and public speaking.

• working out
• traveling

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time, at band camp. Never mind....

There have been some great moments but apparently they weren't awesome enough for me to recall under pressure. Ask again later...
