About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To visit all 50 states starting with just 50 bucks

ABOUT ME

I think its really important to always give as much as you receive. Life is all about your relationships with others, the more friends you have and the stronger your bonds are with family the happier you're going to be.

A year and a half ago I almost made the biggest mistake of my life. I had a ton of job interviews in NYC and Boston. I decided to sell everything I owned and have my dad drop me off at a gas station at the side of the road with just a backpack and 50 bucks.

That was 410 days ago and since then I've some how managed to make it to 49 states and traveled over 26,000 miles. I'm writing a book and making a documentary about it all. I have a website its called Hobodyssey AKA Hobo ODyssey

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others like you want to be treated. And everyone is really like you deep down. Never hate anyone, even Osama

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed in over 20 states but never hosted. When I get a place of my own everyone is welcome. I can't wait to give back to this amazing community!

Interests

My favorite thing in the world is riding freight trains. I learned how to ride trains from some really cool hobo's in Georgia. There is nothing like watching the sunset from a box car while the smell of summer hits your face.
