Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I went on a two week road trip from South Florida to Farm Sanctuary in Watkins Glen, NY in the summer of '08 with three complete strangers. I was introduced to couchsurfing through this and couchsurfed in Philly, Boston, and Charlotte. Ended up making some good friends, some of which I have visited several times since . Since then, I've done a bike tour from Delray to Key West and a two month road trip across the country, couchsurfing the whole way.

CS has restored my faith in humanity and changed my perspective on many things. I'm very grateful for the hospitality that I've been shown throughout the years and look forward to giving back.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been living in Central and South America since the beginning of the year. Settled down in Medellín for the rest of the year.

I rode my bicycle from Delray Beach to Key West in four days and couchsurfed for two of the nights. Awesome experience with wonderful hosts and friends!

Also, drove across the country for two months, couchsurfing along the way. Met a lot of awesome people and made some good friends. Go to Olympic National Park and hike the Narrows in Zion!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can play guitar! I can teach you the basics if you can teach me some yoga or Spanish! I love learning new things and willing to try (mostly) anything .

What I Can Share with Hosts

My humor and willingness to explore!
