I graduated college and tried to do the 9-5 thing. It was terrifying and suffocating so I left.

I met my girlfriend and 2 weeks later we started an 8 month road trip from Maryland to California. The goal was to visit alternative communities, study better agricultural practices, and learn about natural building techniques.

Along the way we rescued dogs, slept in parks, chatted with the homeless, backpacked national forests and parks, climbed mountains and swam to Mexico.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
