CURRENT MISSION

To become well versed, tolerant and as educated as humanly possible

ABOUT ME

I was born in Cleveland, Ohio USA in 1983. I am the second of four children (1 brother, two sisters). I enjoy traveling, and seeing new places.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in the power of community, and the strength that can come from working together. I love listening to music, although I don´t often enjoy what is played on the radio, as I find it too filtered. I follow the news and politics, although I often find myself keeping quiet during heated political discussions, mainly because politics are a lot like religion, as everyone is entitled to their own specific beliefs. If you are best suited to take a path that differs from mine, then how am I entitled to say that you're wrong?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm sure my friends have noticed my penchant for spreading pro-couch surfing propaganda, but it's more because I believe in the couchsurfing philosophy. I have couchsurfed, and hosted people before.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed in Geneva, Amsterdam, Vienna, Berlin, Santa Barbara CA, Portland OR, Sydney and Budapest, and enjoyed it very much. The hosts often have provide a great perspective of the city that a mere tourist would not know.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Perth, Australia is on the opposite side of the earth from Cleveland, OH, and I managed to make it there!

Teach, Learn, Share

The concept of couchsurfing is as much about philosophy as it is a place to crash during your travels. Every couchsurfer I've ever met has been tremendously tolerant, hospitable, and open to new ideas.
