About me:

For most of my life, i was well within my comfort zone, spending the first 24 in one city about 10 minutes North of Boston. I had done some vacations abroad, but never lived out of the US, let alone out of one area code. Now I'm living and traveling around Australia, and this side of the world, and loving every minute of it. It's been an adjustment, but I think I'm the better for it, and I hope that shows in my writing.

I'm fired up on:

I love trying to watch American Sports in absurdly different time zones, getting on public transportation and going somewhere totally random and new, writing TV spec scripts, watching and writing about movies

Tunes I rock out to:

Dave Matthews Band, Shero, Bob Marley, Audioslave, Tom Petty, Kenny Chesney

Travel style:

I love traveling with friends but I'm finding its a unique and awesome experience doing it alone, and I am always looking for ways to save spending without affecting the experience negatively.

Quote:

Not all those who wander are lost. -J.R.R. Tolkien

Sports I do:

Baseball, Hockey, Football, Golf

Favorite books:

Gates of Fire, Lord of the Rings, The Great Gatsby, A Separate Peace, Watership Down, Azincourt

Who I'd like to meet on my travels:

Either a Random friend that I haven't seen in ages and wasn't planning on seeing, or Tom Brady

I want to make a difference by:

Making people laugh and get a reprieve from responsibility with my articles.

Languages spoken, other than English:

Some Spanish

I felt the most immersed in a foreign culture when:

Eating dinner at someone's house and being "The American"

Why I travel:

I want to gain a greater global perspective, and selfishly follow my inner urge to see as much of the Earth as I can.

Ideal place to watch the sunrise:

Fraser Island from a beachside tent

Ideal place to watch the sunset:

Sydney Harbor

Before I die I'd like to:

Visit South America, Asia, Alaska and Africa, and road-trip across the US and Europe.

Let's collaborate:

I am a travel writer who can provide a humorous article about my experiences in living abroad and also through my ongoing travels.
