Hello World.

My name is Cody Goldberg and I'm on a cross-country road trip with little to no plan other than to visit as many national and state parks as I can, climbing and backpacking along the way. Ultimately I'm trying to move out west somewhere. One of the few things I'm planning is to spend a lot of nights in my lowly hammock/tent, dirty, stinky, and dubiously legal, nestled into random patches of woods whenever I'm too tired to drive. The novelty wears off when you have to set up in the rain, but regardless, it's pretty great.

I consider myself often and critically.
I like adventuring, climbing, and listening to the things around me with a distant, pensive look on my face.

The most rewarding aspect of traveling is the folks I meet and the perspective and self-understanding I gain from soaking in my experience presently.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
