CURRENT MISSION

To keep on rockin', its better to burn out then to fade away...

ABOUT ME

Been traveing and playing poker for a living for the past 5 years, but I'm settled back in our Nation's capital and ready for the next chapter of my life, starting grad school this fall.

Traveling is when I'm happiest. Been through Europe, Asia and most recently South America. Have lived in Hong Kong and Buenos Aires and had some couchers stay with us which is how I found about this site.

Have done and see some cool things, and am always down to share stories and laughs about various adventures.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what makes you happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

With an open mind.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted a few Danish girls when I lived in DC. We laughed, we cried, we ate fajitas. My friend Ben made them an Oreo cheesecake.

Interests

Not working, watching Seinfeld, Delirium Tremens, tasty Sos Your Mom pastrami sandwiches, the Traveling Wilburys, learning chess, and of course the Pittsburgh Penguins.
