I grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, went to school at Penn State, and lived in Chicago, Illinois until I was 26. For the last 3 years I've lived in Taiwan, where I've been teaching English, meeting new friends, and traveling with my Taiwanese wife.

We love to travel and meet new people and my wife is really excited to see more of what the U.S. has to offer in terms of scenery and hospitality.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My wife and I will be moving back to the U.S. next summer and want to do a road trip from Pittsburgh to San Diego (Where we will be moving). The plan is to buy a car in Pittsburgh and drive to San Diego making stops along the way.

Couch surfing seems like a great alternative for meeting new people and having new experiences.

We are also interesting in hosting other surfers when we are settled in San Diego.
