CURRENT MISSION

Visiting the lower 48 states in 80 days -- A culinary and geographic adventure!

ABOUT ME

I am an interesting, eccentric, amiable, and all around fun guy. I am currently on a journey through the states to discover the best that the U.S. has to offer. I am eating the best food, visiting the most beautiful locales, and enjoying the people that I meet along the way. Currently I am staying in motels and camping, but would love to start couch surfing to save a few bucks, and meet new people. Also, I am writing a book from my experiences on the road, so your generosity would not only be appreciated, but it could make you famous - if you so choose :).

PHILOSOPHY

I love life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently I am only looking for couches to surf, but in the future I would be more than happy to return the favor to the couch surfing community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In the past I have only surfed relatives and friends couches, but I am looking forward to meeting new people and having new experiences with the couch surfing world!
