Expert New York City and North Carolina, United States

Having grown up in North Carolina, I've covered every inch of the state. From the amazing coastal areas to the mountains and everything in between. For the past four years I have called NYC home and am just starting to realize how truly amazing it is. The food, the people and the experiences to be had are what makes this city great and I would love to share my knowledge of the best bars, restaurants or the coolest spot to watch the sunset.

Traveling Next:

Barcelona, Paris, Algeria

Favorite places I've been:

Berlin, Oslo, Stockholm, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, London, Austin Texas, Amsterdam, Hamburg

Places I want to go to:

Iceland, Vancouver, Antwerp, Scotland, Australia, Japan, Turkey

About me:

NYC based tour manager. I get to travel for a living with rock bands. I've traveled extensively around the US and have recently made a few trips to Europe. I'd love to spend some time exploring Europe and then Asia
*****UPDATE********* I've moved back to NC to finish up my degree. There might be some traveling this summer though.

I'm fired up on:

Music is my life. I'm lucky to have a job that directly involves music and travel. I try to discover new artists wherever I end up and that keeps the fire burning on the travel front. I also am interested in Graffiti and street and have started a photo project on it. Hopefully one day I can put my experiences and art down on paper.

Tunes I rock out to:

Electro and indie rock right now. Always down for some metal & punk. I love living in NYC because the sheer amount of music available on a daily basis is overwhelming

Travel style:

I spend much of my time traveling in vans or tour buses for work. In my personal life, I can go either way. Sometimes it's cool to go solo, sometimes having people along for the ride is great

Quote:

I wake up in the morning and have to look out the window to figure out where I am

Sports I do:

Snowboarding, Soccer, Biking, Surfing, Kayaking

Favorite artist(s):

Banksy is hot right now

Favorite books:

Peoples History of the United States, Middlesex, The Hobbit, The Namesake, Carter Beats the Devil

Who I'd like to meet on my travels:

Like-minded travelers up for adventure

I want to make a difference by:

Sharing my travel experiences with the world through my photos and writing.

Languages spoken, other than English:

Spanish

I felt the most immersed in a foreign culture when:

Spending the evening drinking with new friends in Hamburg who grew up in East Germany before the wall came down. Hearing their stories about life behind the Iron Curtain was eye opening

Why I travel:

I want to learn all I can about other cultures

Ideal place to watch the sunrise:

On the beach in North Carolina

Ideal place to watch the sunset:

See Above

Before I die I'd like to:

Set foot on all seven continents

Let's collaborate:

I'd like to meet some photographers and writers interested in doing a project on street art around the world. Another idea involves travel through the eyes of rock bands& musicians

I recently decided to return to North Carolina to finish up my BA degree in History. Somewhat hesitantly I packed up my apartment in Brooklyn and headed back to my roots. Living in NYC and Boston since 2001 was an amazing experience, but I felt like I needed the get THAT DEGREE. I wasn't really looking...

I've lived in NYC.well Brooklyn, for a few years now. We all know how varied and interesting this city is and how it's pretty easy to get whatever you want whenever you want. Last week I made a trip down to Brighton Beach, a Russian enclave near Coney Island. This is my story...

A few years ago, I was in between tours and found myself in Atlanta, GA visiting friends. I had gone down there last minute on a one-way flight from somewhere. My intention was to head north and visit the folks in North Carolina after Atlanta. My research on flights, especially to out of the way coastal...
