CURRENT MISSION

To do something new tomorrow

ABOUT ME

I am a friendly and adventurous guy who likes to try new things and meet new people. I live an active, vegetarian lifestyle and enjoy playing sports or going for hikes. When I'm not out and about I enjoy curling up with a book. I'm a graduate from the University of Maryland and currently backpacking across Eastern Europe.

PHILOSOPHY

Life begins where your comfort zone ends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed in various countries and tried to meet surfers who visit my area whenever possible. I have shown people around Washington D.C. and met up with people while traveling. When I move to Thailand in September I hope to host travelers as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Though I haven't had too many experiences yet I have had great success with this project so far. My first experience in Munich was fantastic and meeting people in Peru and Canada worked out wonderfully. I am excited to get my own place so that I can host people but in the meantime if you are coming to D.C. or Philadelphia (I travel between the two depending on the time of year) than drop me a message and I would love to meet up.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
