Hey what's up everyone my names Greg and I'm 25 living just north of New York City, I formerly worked at the worlds most famous arena, Madison square garden in midtown Manhattan, I've always loved nature my whole life since I was a kid catching frogs in the marsh and trailblazing trough the woods in search of unconquered lands, my hobbies are hiking, camping, mountain climbing, backpacking all year round, fishing, and swimming at my local waterfall spots, I'm very outgoing and try to put a smile on everyone's face if I can, a bit of a jokester, I do not get shy easily and look to make memorable moments with every person I meet. I recently lost my mom to breast cancer and troubled by that I up and left spending a month and a half just freely traveling around the country in my car searching for the purpose to my life, which I managed to find, I've always been adventurous but the trip made me really understand what it means to live free and my true passion for changing horizons and experiencing all types of cultures, The journey itself ultimately changed my life into understanding that life is to short to be spent living in a day to day routine just living to pay and paying to live. Thus why I'm on here seeking your help as I adapt to my new life style, originally me and my best friend had plans to mobile host in our van down to South America then backpack around the rest of the world in the next 5 years, but he decided last minute after a year of planning and organizing that his ex girlfriend was more important, due to that now the van that I put most my money into is just gonna sit in New York along with my friend, but I refuse to just quit, I went northwest and explored the Olympic peninsula then hiked 200+ miles on the Appalachian trail but now I'm back, now I'm regrouping and reorganizing trying to put together a crew of random adventurers from all around the world to fill my friends spot and backpack around the world with me, it won't be easy and it will take some time to set this up and find the right people but my desire to adventure doesn't change with the choice of others so I believe i can still make this happen, anyways weather your reading this in thought of joining me or hosting me I hope you will be apart of this journey of a lifetime and I'm looking forward to meeting all of you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am somewhat new to online couchsurfing, I've crashed on a few couches on some of my trips around my country by complete strangers who sensed I was a good hearted person in need of a place to stay, I heard this site is the best way to experience the local cultures of the many places I plan to visit so here I am
