About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Prep for the next great adventure

ABOUT ME

I’m really interested in hearing people's stories, I love learning about other people's philosophy on life. I enjoy discussing film, photography, technology, art and music.

Motorcycles are my favorite mode of transport, this is an adventure I took with my ex at the end of 2013: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cc5cZDKijcw

PHILOSOPHY

You only get a short time on earth and I want to make the best of my time. The world is so big and so full of amazing people and places and I want to experience as much as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host as much as Ican. And so far it's been worth it. I've already converted a few more people to couch surfing and tell anyone who wants to listen. I think it's an amazing thing and feel that it makes the world a better place. Becoming internationally involved has been a treat.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Great thusfar being hosted, met some great people.

Hosting, I love it. I have met so many awesome people. Everyone has been incredibly polite and respectful and fun! It's almost as good as traveling myself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watched the sun rise over Manhattan as I sailed up the Hudson into New York.

Went diving to a shipwreck off the coast of Florida

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy having people cook with me and cooking for guests. It is an exciting and tasty way to learn about another culture. I will try (most) anything, as I am trying to be more adventurous. I also love taking people around the city, or at least pointing them in the right directions.

I will also do the best we can to share our culture with others.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Meals, drinks, fun. I try to take all of our hosts out to dinner or make them something special using their own kitchen, whichever they prefer.

If you want to share in exploring, please join me!
