CURRENT MISSION

No country gets left behind

ABOUT ME

My name is Eric and I grew up just north of Philadelphia and have lived right in the city for the past 12 years. I work in and out of the city so I travel a lot for work. I consider myself very spontaneous. I like to do things very spur of the moment and I don't really plan too far ahead for most things. I just tend to see where the wind takes me. I have already experienced a lot I feel in my short time on this Earth and I don't intend to stop anytime soon. Whatever new experiences I can can find, I want to try.

PHILOSOPHY

Take every opportunity available. Never look back and wonder "what if..."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I mainly couchsurfed when I went to Europe but am trying to be more involved in the couchsurfing get togethers. I just tend to get very busy at times.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed in Europe and absolutely loved it. Meeting everybody was awesome and I loved getting to know all the best spots in their towns and cities.

Interests

Snowboarding, Golf, Guitar, Travelling (of course), Photography, Writing, Hiking, anything outdoors! Drinking lots of different types of coffee...and beers for that matter. I don't mean that in a I love to always get drunk way. I mean that in a trying the local brews kinda way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I actually acted in the movie "After Earth" with Will Smith and got to work closely with him. I wound up getting cut out of the movie, so now of course I have no way to prove it. That was an awesome experience. Getting the opportunity to jump out of planes and climb mountains has also been some fun accomplishments of mine. When I traveled to Kuwait I experienced a bit of some culture shock, but I really am grateful for that experience to see how people live in these different cultures.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn new languages and really learn how to cook (I'm terrible at it). I'll try to cook something but definitely no guarantees on it being good. I do love eating, though. Which is why I should really learn to cook more. I'm sure what I can teach others depends on the person I'm with. I would love to share my culture with others that I meet.
