CURRENT MISSION

"Fame, money, your land..they won't matter in the end. What will matter are your stories"

ABOUT ME

Young, energetic and vibrant guy who is a big explorer at heart. Anywhere I go I am inquisitive and will always want to try and learn new things. I believe life is a continuous education and traveling is the best way to educate yourself. I travel not to check off bucket lists. I travel for the stories. When I'm 50 I want to be able to get to tell my grandchildren amazing stories about the people I have met, the places I have been and the things I have done by seeing the world.

PHILOSOPHY

You can either live a simple life or choose an adventurous one.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The closest couch surfing I have experienced was meeting a local in New York City on my last visit. My relatives were living in Long Island and when I took off to Manhattan I met a New Yorker who showed me around the city on his own time. Eventually he invited me to just stay over his place and take the couch for the night so I wouldn't have to travel late at the night. The next day he also took me to Philadelphia. My best New York experience was through its hospitality.
