Born and raised in Oneonta NY. Enjoyed all that good childhood stuff, bicycles, footy, friends, skinny dipping, the whole 9 yards. Went to Union College in nearby Schenectady and received my higher learning edumaca-cion. Came home, got a real life job as a Rehab Coordinator dealing with scheduling all kinds of therapist for people recently discharged from the hospital.

But!

Now, for the dilemma, The girlfriend a woman of my dreams has moved to Montana to get her masters in forensic anthropology. That is very very very far from Upstate NY. Light bulb! Quitting the occupation - this i did not do lightly as i truly do enoy my workplace and my fellow employees. But i miss my dream girl!

So, i'm taking to the road with my favorite road tripper - Patrick - a good good fella and we are taking 2 months to swoop the country. hit the south, get cajun, camp thorugh the south west to get some dirt, go to vegas to waste some money, and fly up the west coast for some salty tahoe breeze. then over to Missoula to find some work and to get my girl back!

That is my story and that is my pursuit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

umm... essentially to find cheap places and interesting people along my travels around the the country and eventually around the globe, Couchsurfing will be key to cheap adn socialized adventure.

Interests

The real goods....

Music, Exercise, playing music and also dj'ing (yes, i don't consider them in the same category and get different satisfaction from both). yoga, running, blarp, reading, writing, photography, and just doing new fun things! climbing too!

Music, Movies, and Books

uhhh, honestly most things besides new american country music. Like any song that directly states, I like my ford truck, rifle, getting drunk, uhhhh, brett favre. Nothing against anyone who lifes drinking or guns or any of that. I just don't think it shoud be so direct, have a little mystery and metaphor will ya?

I enjoy survival stories for reading. Into the wild, between a rock and a hard place, to the summit, into thin air. idk. Also Hemingway short stories, general shorts stories actually. Can't remeber the author, but the book BAD DIRT part2 is one of the most amazing collections of short stories i have ever encountered.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went abroad to Italy. But with essentially 1500 bucks spending money for 3 months. Most people in the 21st century can't say they survived in Florence for 3 months on bread, nutella, and cartons of red wine.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like these three verbs?

What I Can Share with Hosts

endless optimism, i'm down for just about anything, and while i may seem sarcastic at times i do truly try to always be easy to get along with. Stories of travels. Also to fill hosts in on my current travel plans to see the country and get my girl!

Countries I’ve Lived In

Italy, United States
