After traveling 5 continents in 2022/2023, I’ve been calling Amsterdam home the last year.

Originally hail from the East Coast and a long time New Yorker, until I packed my bags and never looked back.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I am keeping an eye out on places to stay, but more importantly, I really enjoy making new friends and exchanging cultures, ideas and perspectives. I’m here to learn, it’s been the greatest gift to be out of the US and make friends from all over the world. My perspective on life has changed so much.

Reading, movies, hiking, camping, trekking, nature, writing, drawing, photography, history, music, learning guitar, mindfulness, long talks, cultural exchanges, traveling, doing nothing

Mexico and Scotland have so far been two of my favorite countries to explore, and I've returned back to them the most - and still lots of uncharted territory to explore.

In short, I like to be moving around and active as much as possible!

音乐、电影和书籍

Really anything. List is big and I am always up for recommendations.

Movies - The list is too huge, to be honest. Some all-timers are The Wicker Man, Out of the Past, O Lucky Man!, Anything by Robert Altman (3 Women, Nashville, The Long Goodbye). 70s films, Horror, Cult, Film Noir, Foreign, Fantasy, Classics, Westerns -- I’ll watch anything! I love my 80s/90s action movies too.

Music - Like movies this list is too big. All time favorites might be (but not at all limited to!) Neil Young, Hank Williams, The Ramones, Miles Davis, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, Velvet Underground/Lou Reed/John Cale. Punk, Metal (esp live), Psych/Prog, Stoner Metal, Krautrock, Classical, Classic Country, Jazz, Bossa Nova, World Music, Folk, New Wave, 90s Alt-Rock/Grunge, Soul, anything!

Books - The Razor's Edge, Tropic of Cancer, Raymond Carver Short Stories, Dune, The Long Goodbye, Rabbit Run, Ubik, Blue Highways, Walden, Steppenwolf, The Teachings of Don Juan, The Songlines, The Incal, The Dharma Bums, anything Charles Bukowski, Rainer Maria Rilke, HP Lovecraft, JG Ballard, and many many more. Reading more nonfiction these days.

TV - Try not to watch too much TV, but I do love The Sopranos, Peep Show, Twin Peaks, True Detective S1, Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Mad Men, Rick and Morty, etc.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

What I'm doing now! Traveling around the world has been a lifelong dream of mine, and I am amazed at the places I've seen and the people I've met: Hiking through the Annapurnas and waking up to the Himalayas at Sunrise, celebrating Día de Los Muertos, and stargazing in the Atacama are my big highlights.

教，学，和分享

A good conversation over a drink or a meal, tell me about yourself!

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I am an open book and always up for a good conversation.

If I'm staying with you, I'm happy to spend whatever time you see fit to hang out (and I'm just as happy spending time on my own if not!).
