About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to have a great time in life helping as many people as i can along the way in as many new and amazing places as possible

ABOUT ME

I am a chill respectful Marylander who loves organizing to improve the world. I like to go out and have a good time. I love meeting and staying with new people who live in the places I visit, there is no other way to really get at the culture. I'm 6 feet tall, brown hair, red beard, i like to eat and laugh, I have a pretty positive outlook on life nearly all the time.

PHILOSOPHY

"I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day."
- E.B. White.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have surfed, mostly in Europe, and people are welcome at my place, wherever that may be.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed with a wonderful man in Belgrade, couchsurfing is amazing. he was such a gracious and hilarious host. i hope couchsurfers bring the type of energy and love to a home in the way Milos did.

Teach, Learn, Share

this is hard
i know things but i am no expert
i know how to cook a little bit? and i know a little about public health? i like humans and like learning from them, i am curious about everything.
i want to learn and maybe gain insights on everyone's perspectives of this complex nosense existence
we all live side by side
i'm just trying to soak it all in
