Hello!

My name is Dave and I am from Baltimore, MD, USA. I love meeting people from around the world and swapping stories, insights, and knowledge on pretty much anything. I'm big into filmmaking and photography, food, and entrepreneurship and startups. I want my own business one day and part of my current world trip is to think more about and experience different places around the globe. I love experiencing things outside the guidebooks when traveling around and networking with locals.

I will be moving to Barcelona September 2017 to get my masters for a year.

Drop me a line!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hoping to make friends, have some unique experiences, and network with people around the globe.
