CURRENT MISSION

On an epic road trip across America

ABOUT ME

I'm a 21 year old college graduate who has lived in New Jersey my whole life. My plan is to get out of here and see as much of the world as I can. I have many passions in life; one of them is film. I want to write and direct movies for the rest of my life. Another, more urgent passion is the road. I've embarked on an epic road trip that will put Jack Kerouac to shame. I love putting myself in new environments and meeting intersting people. The only way for me to grow is to put myself out there and see what happens.

PHILOSOPHY

You aren't going to live forever, so experience as much as you can while you have the chance.

The journey is almost always more important than the destination.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm going on an extended trip, so I am going to need other people's couches until I find a new place to settle. I'm a great guest, I'll bring food and drinks and will definitely pull my weight around the house for as long as my stay is. I also think this is a great way to meet people and form a worldwide community, to share my experiences with people I would never meet otherwise.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed in London and Amsterdam, met some amazingly cool people from all over the world...i pretty much like any couch i can fit on, i'm about 5'11 so room is important. air matresses and futons are beautiful things. A good floor can come in handy when youre in a pinch.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bonnaroo 2006 was maybe the greatest experience of my life. 80,000 people coming together to hang out in a field and get along was truly inspiring. Plus Radiohead put on the greatest show of all time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I cant teach you kung fu or how to restore a '68 Chevy, but I can breakdance a little bit. If you don't know how to do The Robot, let me be your guide. I know a lot about film and I love to share music that I dig with others, and I can make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich that will Rock Your World.
