Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To make like Ricky Martin and live la vida loca.
ABOUT ME
Spent my college days traveling all over the United States, went to work for a non-profit, quit, then traveled all over the world.Currently a Stand Up Comic. Translation: I have a random odd job.And oh yeah, I love living in New York City.I like having a good time above all else. Responsibility is important, but living is importanter.
PHILOSOPHY
Meet stupid people. You might learn something from them.One time an 85 year old man told me I should max out my credit card doing all the things I want to do. He said I'll spend 10 years paying it off but my time is the most important thing I have right now. You rock old man!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Hoster/Surfer to the stars.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I was fortunate enough to be hosted by many amazing people throughout my worldly travels.
My experiences involved a lot of good times in general. Also a lot of cuddling followed by awkward mornings. Just kidding, the mornings weren't awkward at all!
Interests
Good beer and wine. Chatting. Staying at bars past closing time. Learning about everything. I love hockey, and football. I hate baseball, and hate the Yankees (Rooting for them is like rooting for Bill Gates to succeed even more).Also, to prove you have read my profile please end all couch requests and or messages with "If you smell what The Rock is cooking." If you don't include this I will be polite and decline your request or not answer your message. Despite the politeness, I will be mean on the inside and harbor contempt for you. I put this in interests, so hopefully you consider this section a must read. I mean, what if I put one of my interests as 'murder?' Therefore, this request of mine is to make sure you've read my profile and for your own personal safety in the future.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I once was driving in Wyoming, USA and my car became the centerpiece to a roaming herd of buffalo. It took me about 1 hour to drive 5 miles but it was worth every second.
In Jaisalmer, I went with my hosts cousin to get cases of beer for a party. After getting the beer I had to hold the cases in one hand while grabbing onto a motorbike with the other all while zipping frantically through the streets. I may have soiled my pants just a little bit that day.
