About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Waddup, I recently graduated from Penn State University. I grew up in the northern most reaches of New Jersey suburbs where Starbucks, Hummers, and nail salons have asserted their dominance - BUT despite the area being void of culture, I have found some real gems: aside from bagels and pizza, cliff jumping, hiking, castle ruins, etc. (nj is secretly beautiful). Currently my home is in beautiful South Lake Tahoe where I work as a landscape architect full time and adventure when I can.

monsters, art, design, spontaneity, hangin' loose, learnin', explorin', and meeting people. y'know.

PHILOSOPHY

mostly I like to make it up as I go along

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed a couple awesome couches in Europe and the west coast but have more experience hosting through a co-op I've lived in for 3 years that often took in surfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Nothing but great experiences with hosting! The best are those long nights of interesting conversations over a few brews on the front porch.
