CURRENT MISSION

I want to see the United States. I've had this habit of buying expensive plane tickets to places that are very far away (see: Buenos Aires, Sydney, Mexico City) but now I just want to cruise around the homeland and see what there is to see.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 24-year-old dude from the suburbs. I plan on spending the next six years or so traveling. I'd like to see India. I've never been to Europe. Most of Africa scares the hell out of me, but I plan on spending a good deal of time there as well.
I'd like to eventually start a career as a photojournalist, so seeing the world, and photographing it, are activities with much allure to me.
Otherwise I'm a die hard Boston Red Sox fan, eater of sushi, walker, swimmer, and conversationalist.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what makes you happy. Don't hurt anyone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Because I can't put my Mom's house on Couchsurfer, although she's a pretty cool lady, I can't offer couches to anyone. But I hope I'm a good enough person to make other hosts happy that they opened their homes to me, and thus more willing to open their homes to others in the future.
And believe me, when I've got a personal address, this website will be the first I visit.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I backpacked from Buenos Aires to Bogota over four months, taking only one plane (driving through FARC territory can be tricky). It changed me.
