About Me

~3hrs from NYC

Hi, everyone!

I prefer the calm when it comes to travel, so you can usually find me enjoying the sights of cathedrals, hiking trails, or a quaint pub to drink in (the rowdiness of watching a football game at a bar is just as good too.)

I'm an extroverted introvert through and through, so I do my best to be unobtrusive and thoughtful with everyone that I have the honor of meeting :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just love meeting the locals wherever I visit. To me that is the most authentic way to experience a new culture and way of life, and brings humanity and respect to the traveling experience that is sorely lacking from the modern day experience that is tourism.

Plus, I've never failed to hear a fantasticlife story from those I've stayed with or hosted!

Interests

I'm a man of many, many hobbies. I enjoy a variety of adventure sports and running, play plenty of TTRPGs, make music, watch films, and sharing stories with fellow travelers wherever our paths cross

  • books
  • theater
  • music festivals
  • fitness
  • video games
  • classical music

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've performed on the stage of Carnegie Hall in NYC twice, the second time as a featured tenor soloist!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm more than willing to assist with anything around the place! If you'd like, you can enjoy the pleasure of hearing a classically trained tenor sing a song for you as well. Of course, I'm always down to buy a round of drinks or grab a bottle of wine, too.
