About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Embracing the absurd.

ABOUT ME

My passions are professional education, philosophy, exploring Connecticut and a fun blend of the lot.

PHILOSOPHY

"One way to get the most out of life is to look upon it as an adventure" - William Feather

"We are, in Carl Rogers` terms, always becoming, never finally arrived." -Martin Bloom

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Love to meet, have fun and learn with crazy cats around the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIECE
Since 2009 I've had amazing experiences with fellow travelers and hosts that have shown me the importance of sharing, openness, and community in everyday life. I look forward to many more experiences, hosting, surfing and friendships to come!

Interests

I love to read, play tennis, kickbox, rollerblade, and catch every horror flick that hits the big screen. I'm also hopelessly addicted to coffee and all forms of dark- and scare-based tourism.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My favorite CS'ing adventures were three month-long trips researching dark-themed venues around the UK, Europe and Australia in the summers of 2010, 2011 and 2012. I was fortunate enough to meet amazing people who hosted me and shared several of my MONSTROUS adventures, joining me on ghost tours, haunted attractions, graveyard explorations and other venues.
