About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet people, play games, travel, learn strange things.

ABOUT ME

I'm from South Jersey. My dad raises cows.
I was in the navy for 6 years, and I hated about 75% of it. I've just been set free, and I don't know what to do with myself.
I've recently moved to Philadelphia for school. It's the city of Brotherly Love, the Liberty Bell, Ben Franklin, and pigeons.

PHILOSOPHY

Always accept free food.

Scared money don't make money.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host, I surf. I drink.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed from Moldova to Switzerland in 1.5 months. Everyone I met was welcoming and friendly, and I learned plenty from them. I made some great friends, and developed an addiction to travel, for which there seems to be no cure.

Interests

The beach, ultimate frisbee, frisbee golf, playing catch, bouldering, taking pictures, betting on anything and everything, rolling dice, makin' juice, wearing socks and sandals, swimming, fishing, farming.

I love learning practical trades i.e. carpentry, blacksmithing, farming, fishing, sailing, flying, etc.

I enjoy being in the outdoors. The city seems unnatural to me, I feel confined. Though all places are worth experiencing, I can only handle certain levels of urban life before I have to retreat and recover.
