About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I need a couch to surf upon while I look for a new apartment to share with my girlfriend.

ABOUT ME

I'm from New York where worked as a film editor. I moved to California in 2011 and have recently retrained to work in healthcare. I consider myself pretty easy going, honest, and responsible. I don't smoke, use drugs, or drink. I enjoy working out regularly and practice meditation. I'm also a musician and film enthusiast.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in personal freedom. Find what you love to do and have a good time doing it. Be considerate and honest with others. I live my life within my means, free from debt and adhere to a healthy lifestyle.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've never couch surfed before, but it was recommended to me by a friend who's done it.

Interests

Music is my main inspiration. I first picked up guitar, played bass in bands for years, and most recently began playing synthesizer. I also love film and I'm particularly fond of documentaries. I love to travel and have been abroad several times. I plan to travel more. I enjoy learning about physics, the finance industry, psychology, criminology, religion, and history.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first time I played live with a band in front of 300 people. Traveling through Israel, seeing the pyramids in Egypt, and hiking up Mount Sanai overnight, reaching the summit at sunrise. Saw the "pope" blessing the crowd at Mardi Gras in New Orleans. He was drunk for sure. Saw several popes actually.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy meeting and learning from just about anyone.
