About Me

CURRENT MISSION

meet cooool people. have a fun time. practice languages

ABOUT ME

I am living in a house with 8 friends, and my girlfriend. we are pretty chill. usually hang out at home, but if the occasion calls for it we know a few places to go to have a good time. also a big fan of concerts and good music... which consists of everything but country music. Myself and one other room mate speak a little spanish. I also used to be fluent in Italian and would love to practice some more!

PHILOSOPHY

everything in life is manageable if taken in small bites, and life does not work if you can't laugh at it every now and then

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope to couchsurf in the near future. I signed my parents up for this and they love it. I also love meeting people from different cultures. My roommates and I are more than happy to host anyone, as long as we are all in town.

also if you know how to cook we will all pitch in to buy you ingredients! new food is good food.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My parents got a couple of guys. One from New York, and one from Turkey is all they have gotten so far.

We have only had one surfer so far but we had a blast hanging out with him!

Interests

I like biking, snowboarding, playing sports, reading, watching good movies,listening and discovering new, unique music.

seriously if you have really good music from your country please let me know!!
