CURRENT MISSION

Study of Culture and Cuisine

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy going energetic human being. I love to be active; hiking, biking, sailing, playing competitive sports, cooking, cliff jumping and much more. I'm traveling around the world to expand my knowledge in cuisine by submersion of culture. I plan on working on farms as much as possible to get as close to the food and culture. I'm a hard worker and I take pride in everything I do.

PHILOSOPHY

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail - Ralph Waldo Emerson

I feel that these words describe the way I try and live, there is always something out there worth learning and in exchange there is always someone to teach.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have no problem doing chores around the house and I love to cook, so if you don't feel like cooking I'm your guy. I've been traveling since I graduated high school in 2002. I now have a place I can cal my own in Southern Vermont, there is a couch!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been surfing on couches for about 3 years for about 3 months at a time in between my off season from cooking in the caribbean. I always try and make a good impression by being helpful and considerate.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was on top of a mountain in the clouds, the clouds were moving toward the sunset, with the sun at my back: a full circle rainbow appeared and would change in color and size for the following several minutes. It was amazing to be so close!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a trained chef and I love to share my knowledge of food as well as how to prepare it. I want to learn about farming, permaculture and self sustainable living.
