CURRENT MISSION

Find the novel as often as I can.

ABOUT ME

A bike-riding, ever-whistling, house-owning, people-helping, do-it-yourself/ourselves kind of guy.

I thought I knew where everything was going in my life until I found out I was wrong. I'm looking to find some new direction and head off toward it.

I was born and raised in upstate NY and haven't really been able or desired to break out of here until now. I'm an active person with a constant desire for mental/physical activity.

Oh yeah, I love to eat as well.

PHILOSOPHY

This is something I'm still getting my head around. Try to do what you can, where you can and hope that others will join you? I figure we're all in it together and it makes sense to make community wherever you end up.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed during my trip to the Pacific Northwest and now I'm back home ready to host once again.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been able to meet a bunch of excellent people while I've been a part of CS. Both hosting and surfing provides ample opportunities for trying out new experiences. My trips and day-to-day life are definitely improved by the existence of the Couch Surfing community.
