On a quest for a life of service, beautiful connections, and great stories.

I grew up in Boston and Los Angeles, and have lived all over the US and also in Brasil and India. I'm really active and prefer being outside as much as possible -- hiking, biking, soccer/football, partner acrobatics, skiing, snowboarding, rafting, fishing, ice climbing. I really like to wander around cities, especially with good people. I like hearing people's stories, I like telling stories. I like random nights of chatting with good people till late late hours of the night. I like conversation that gets me see things differently. I also like to dance, especially with folks who have rhythm and a sense of humor.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on CS to meet people from all across the world who share a passion for learning and connection. I've couchsurfed in the US + India + Brazil, and have used CS to meet some great friends all over as well. I've also hosted a good number of people in Boston.

* Dear travel agents and guides -- Thank you for offering your services, but I will not be in need of them, and I kindly request that you not contact me for this purpose. I very much respect that you are building your livelihood, but it is my belief that couchsurfing should remain a mostly cashless and business-free platform for cultural exchange and mutual service.

* Dear fellow couchsurfers -- Connections and references on this platform are indicators to others of trust and safety, which is hugely important to all involved. For that reason, I am unlikely to add you as a friend or leave a reference unless we've spent substantial time together and/or we've hosted one another.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When we were little, my sister and I would take big sips of Coke/7UP/etc and then flip upside down against the wall and let it dribble into our noses, and then laugh like crazy. I'm sure it was a good idea at the time.
