CURRENT MISSION

I am looking for my FRY (passion) in life.

ABOUT ME

I am a nice guy who likes luke warm coffee (preferably with milk and sugar but can drink it black), milk chocolate, and medium salsa. This sounds a little boring, but I do enjoy the simple things in life. I find something I love and then stick with it. I believe that the little instances in life, like a bite of cake and sip of tea, can illuminate everything else, amen Proust.

Other than that, I like to ride my bike, play soccer, drink and go out, work, work, work, and work some more. I love cooking, being thrifty, and all Boston sports.

I am English and have traveled around Europe, mostly France, a lot. I visit England almost yearly and have studied at Paris8 in Paris. I have also been to West Africa twice and want to return. I really want to travel more around France, and to explore South East Asia.

PHILOSOPHY

I am spiritual in that I believe in a higher power. I do not attend church or subscribe to any religion but believe having faith in something larger than yourself is extremely important.

I try to live my life as morally as possible in every facet. I aspire to eat ethically, bank ethically, and live ethically. It is important to stress that I do not believe that doing these things is to get some sort of reward in an afterlife. I just think it is Right.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My roommate had signed up for couch surfing, his name is Michael Yarbrough. We have had a few couch surfers stay with us and they have all been awesome. I hope to surf myself soon, and continue to host more surfers!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just from the couch surfers I have met who stayed in our apartment, they have been the best. Really friendly and respectful as well as being super interesting and fun to talk to.
