CURRENT MISSION

Impress myself. And leave the country at least once a year. Or twice...

ABOUT ME

I used to work full time at Temple University, but gave up the regular work life to travel the world. My girlfriend and I bought one way tickets to Hong Kong and are still on the journey.

I love to rock climb, and want to get more outdoor sport climbing experience. I enjoy NHL (go Penguins!), good food and beer, traveling, hanging out with friends, camping, reading interesting books, and adventures, just to name a few.

Philadelphia is a cool town, with good people. Whether I am at home or on the road, I'm always trying to seek out new experiences and make new connections.

PHILOSOPHY

Jesus had good teachings on how to live.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to host when I'm at home. It's great to meet people with new stories, languages, travels, and culture. If you surf with me, bring stories! Or a dish from your homeland. Or just yourself! This is a cultural exchange just as much as a hospitality exchange.

While I'm traveling, I love to stay with a local and experience my visit in a totally unique way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I did couchsurfing on my round the world trip. That was in 2008. I've had some amazing hosts. My hosts have put a whole new spin on my trip and it's incredible. Now when I travel, I always try to surf.

I've now live in a place that's good for hosting and I've been getting lots of requests!

兴趣

Travel, obviously. I love to read, watch new films, meet new people, eat at exotic and interesting restaurants and play music.

教，学，和分享

The best way to get to/from Philadelphia, New York City, and Washington DC is by Bolt Bus (www.boltbus.com) and Mega Bus (www.megabus.com). Way better than Greyhound!
