ABOUT ME

Grew up in New Jersey, moved to Austin at 20 - lived there for seven years, attended UT, jumped out of planes, lived in a housing co-op, worked as a classic car mechanic amongst other jobs, lived in NZ for a year, now I'm travelling around Europe.

I enjoy:

Exploring the outdoors, reading, playing sports, and getting lost on public transit.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

Mark Twain wrote, "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime."

Meeting, hanging out with, and engaging with people around the world is such an important aspect of life. And Couchsurfing brings that idea to fruition.

Interessi

Anytime I'm in a new place I like to drink the local beer to see what they have to offer. I'm also going to start learning how to make local cuisine from places I visit.

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa

Without tools it's difficult to do much, but I can take a look at your vehicle if you're having problems with it.

I enjoy cooking and am always happy to teach some and learn from others.

Traveling outside the US I've gotten lots of questions about how things work in the US, especially politics. I'm more than happy to share my knowledge if you're interested, but don't typically bring them up unless asked.
