Small town guy, big adventures.

I'm a fiction writer/journalist looking to expand my horizons, meet interesting people, take in the sights, and experience/learn about other cultures. Especially interested in the beautiful, unusual, historical, exciting, and downright weird parts of the places I visit. Love getting off the beaten tourist track.

As a guest, I'm super accommodating. I'd love to hang out with my hosts, but I'm also down to do my own thing. Good vibes all around.

Born in Belchertown>> Studied in New Orleans>>Lived in Boston>>Currently in my home town.
