CURRENT MISSION

... I'd like to get my Hookah lounge open this season!

ABOUT ME

Grew up in Lancaster, Pennsylvania (the heart of Amish country), spent a good amount of time traveling with my family and on my own, studied arabic language and Islamic culture, Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning at Arizona State University. I volunteered in Albania for two years with the Peace Corps, biked from Albania to Egypt with my best friend and now I'm living and working in Albania 5 months of the year.

PHILOSOPHY

I used to think the world rested on a bed of organized chaos - now I see it's just about money. I don't want it to be that way.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I offer a couch when I have one, share what I know when it's usefull, and meet people through couchsurfing as I travel.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted at my house in Tempe, Arizona and have been hosted in the American NW, in SE Asia, and now around the Mediterranean. I've always had a good time meeting down to Earth and interesting people from all over.
