CURRENT MISSION

To see the world, one beer at a time.

ABOUT ME

Worked for the airlines most of my adult life, and love traveling, meeting new people, learning from them, and enjoying good company.

I enjoy hearing perspectives from all over the world on different issues, as well as just seeing how people live their lives outside my bubble of New England.

PHILOSOPHY

If you can't find the humor in any situation, you're just not trying. It's always there.

I'm always laughing - it gets me through the days.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am pretty new to CS. I've certainly randomly crashed on people's couches before, but it's my fellow traveling friends who've introduced me to really cool people they've met via CS and have subsequently become friends.

I'm always open to meeting new people, so that's how I became involved.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I stumbled upon a baby monitor lizard (dragon) in Singapore in the rainforest. Wicked cool.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have tons of experience and knowledge about the airline/aviation industry - so if you ever have questions about how to travel (logistically speaking) I can probably answer them.

I'm also fairly decent with languages so can usually communicate with non-English speakers as required.
