About Me

CURRENT MISSION

mi piacerebbe viaggiare e vedere tanti posti nuovi

ABOUT ME

I'm a laid back guy just doing life and negotiating the adventures as they come. I've been around the world a few times, each time I travel the world seems smaller and more interesting. There's nothing like new culture, experiencing randomness, and meeting new people.

PHILOSOPHY

"Not all who wander are lost."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have the biggest most comfortable couch in the world. Have literally slept 5 adults on it at once. Stop by sometime and give it a try....

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted 2 CS'ers from Canada and had a great time both teaching about my little area of the world and learning more about theirs. Looking forward to meeting new friends here on Project CS.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

met President Bush a few times, got drunk on Ross Perot's boat dock in Bermuda, partied with the Ambassador of Seychelles. Been all over Europe, Southwest Asia, America, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Phillippines, Seychelles, Mauritius, Diego Garcia. Saw a dog drift by on a couch during a flood in Puerto Rico once...that had to be the craziest thing, it was the look in his little eyes!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Just about anything computer or network related. Currently attending Embry Riddle Aeronautical University for a 4-year degree in Aeronautics. Im a student pilot and self-proclaimed amateur bartender. Love billiards, can always learn more there.....
