ABOUT ME

Hey my name is Edward and I'm a growing entrepreneur seeking financial freedom so I can travel full time! **Edit - I finally reached financial freedom for the next 5 years by selling my business June 2015 and I'm now traveling full time starting November**

I'm an extremely outgoing guy that loves to live life on the edge in a nomadic fashion. Anything physical demanding or raises my adrenaline and I'm there. I played Division 1 football at WVU, graduated with my bachelors in Psychology, and was an All American wrestler. I own Crossfit gyms located in Central Florida and run a charity foundation called "Live to Give" that focuses on providing 3rd world country children gifts on Christmas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couch Surfing opened my eyes to the amazing people of the world. Without it I would still be the scared guy in a small city hiding from all the "dangers of the world lol (yet to find these dangers).

Couch Surfing has introduced me to some of the most loving people I've ever met. The learning, loving, and experiencing new cultures has created an addiction I can't stop. Only more travel help hinder this monster I've created.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling the world ensuring children in orphanages have a great Christmas (5 years). I bring hundreds of pounds of toys in duffle bags and surprise them on Christmas. The true happiness of these children is priceless.
