CURRENT MISSION

I'm trying to make it to DC the last weekend in January to catch up with an old mentor on the east coast all the way from Hawaii.

ABOUT ME

Four years ago I made the decision to move from my hometown in Ohio to New York City for school. Since then I've learned more than I expected to (mostly outside of school) about myself and the world. But there's so much more! Inspired by a friend, who also uses Couch Surfing, I've decided that it's time to explore NOW. Not next year, or next month, but ASAP.

PHILOSOPHY

"Our worth can only be determined by what we make of who we are, which requires us, for starters, to reject with every fiber of our being the pitiable figure the world would make of us and to discover our own true and better selves, patiently waiting, perhaps unseen, in the outer reaches of our imagination."
-Ellis Cose

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a surfer now (or hope to be with the help of a delightful host), but plan to help others on their journeys as I am able. As a surfer I plan to participate by engaging with my hosts.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'll let you know once I have one!

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

For a year I was principal clarinetist of my community's youth orchestra. I only had 1 1/2 front teeth.
