Hello! My name's Frank, and I'm a self-employed artist and writer from Sparks, Maryland. Earlier this year I graduated from Towson University with a degree in nursing. A few days later, I began working as a kayak tour guide in Cape Charles, Virginia. Then, it was back on the road. My girlfriend Lisa and I moved again, seeking new adventures. That turned into traveling for art shows, which turned into a road trip. That's where we are now: a cross-country road trip that begins in Maryland.

I get along with just about everybody, and I'm always looking for new pals.
I plan to do a lot of that on my trip across the country.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love adventures and meeting new people! Travel is such a beautiful thing, and I want to share the experience with as many good people as I can. I'm on CouchSurfing to build new connections, make new friends, and hopefully help as many people as I can. After my road trip this October, I plan on moving to Charlottesville, Virginia. That will be my little CouchSurfing beacon, where fellow wanderers can drop their bags and rest their feet.
