CURRENT MISSION

50 states complete. Now time for rest of the world.

ABOUT ME

I grew up and lived in rural PA for the first 26 years of my life. I have lived in central NJ for the past year. Grad school made me realize I have a burning desire to see more of the world before I die and not only be a tourist, but learn about people who are not white guys from central PA. I have lots of friends who fit that description and it is high time to add some variety.

PHILOSOPHY

Take off your ipod and look, listen, and feel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to couchsurfing, but I love the idea. I recently cracked open a fortune cookie that told me 'A Stranger is a Friend You Have Not Met Yet'. I can not help but agree and couchsurfing seems to embody that spirit.
