About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Change the world one word at a time

ABOUT ME

I love. While this is true... you probably want more. I'm from America, a New England boy born and raised. I just graduated from UVM after studying a bit English, Philosophy, & art history.
I learned about couch surfing when I studied in England for a year. I travelled to Bosnia and back surfing when I could, through this the website and the old fashion way.
I want to experience the authentic world, and I want to write another book... my first is called Cocktail, and it's not great, but it's 99 pages of a fictional account of my travels in Europe::: I love to play guitar, singing, and blowing my harmonica. My goal is to deconstruct the negative stereotypes associated with my country, and leave a lasting impression on everyone I meet. :)
I know enough to know that there is a lot left I need to figure out. If you've read this much about me, I look forward to meeting you if our paths ever cross.

PHILOSOPHY

Moderation in moderation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I', not in a good position to host. I'm living in a tent somewhere at the end of an old dirt road in Lincoln, Vermont.

If you're around Burlington & especially if you're interested in the music scene or sustainability movements happening in Vermont, talk to me...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's a beautiful thing. More absurd then you could ever imagine.

Words of advice: I don't take websites too seriously. Everything that really matters happens in person.

Interests

I live for art. Literature, cinema, and music in particular but I'm a patron of all the arts. At the end of the day, I'm happiest when a guitar is in my hand.
