CURRENT MISSION

Working on saving some cash for the ole 'round the worlder...

ABOUT ME

I graduated college with a degree in poetry at the beginning of the biggest recession since the Great Depression (I know, I know, wah wah). Fuck corporate america, Let's see the world!

Currently my girlfriend and I are planning and saving for our next move, which with any luck will take us around the globe.

PHILOSOPHY

I like to draw my personal philosophy from a combination of two things: first, living a life as walt whitman had in mind, a life rich in adventure; second, treating life as existentialists do when they refer to their philosophy as a philosophy of action therefore creating a life full of action and adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now we don't have a couch available and our apartment currently is located outside of Baltimore so I don't think any travelers want to come here anyway. I'm definitely up for grabbing a few beers or some coffee with some travelers downtown. I can show you around somewhat but Baltimore is fairly new to me as well. Hopefully soon we will move back to the city, with a couch for surfers. We shall see...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing has been awesome so far, here in America and abroad, notably Central America. I've met so many cool and like minded people on previous trips. It may be cliche to say, but traveling and couchsurfing has really helped change and reshape my view of humanity. I'm looking forward to giving back to the community by offering my couch, whenever we get one. Ha!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The San Blas Islands was the most amazing time throughout my young traveling career. Staying in a hostel that opened out into the main market in Granada, Nicaragua wasn't too bad either.
