CURRENT MISSION

To travel and to learn

ABOUT ME

I am a pretty laid back guy who enjoys the finer things in life. I can be quite quiet and shy but if you get to know me more I can open up so to speak. I have been living in NYC for a few years. If you want to know more about me then just ask because I'm not sure this amount of space could describe everything about me.

PHILOSOPHY

"The wise man knows that he does not know"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am currently going to school and I can host people as well. Weekends are usually the best times.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I can not begin to explain the great experience that I have had with CS. Even though I have only surfed three times those three times have been way more than I could ever have expected or hoped for. I have been so lucky to have the greatest host in all the places I have visited, including Lyon, Nice, and Padova.

Interests

I am very interested in learning as much as I can while I'm on this Earth! I have been recently interested in learning about other cultures and in specific languages. I have studied French, Italian, and Dutch and hope to learn more in the future. It may not appear but I enjoy exercising and running. I have gone into a slump recently but I hope this summer to do a lot of hiking and swimming and basking in the summer sun. I also love music as I'm sure most human beings do. I basically love to enjoy the moment at hand, including right now ;)
