Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Hello! I'm a 27 year old who recently quit his job to take time to explore the world! I'm an extrovert who loves new places and people. I'm always looking for an authentic experiences and genuine people. I've found the best way to explore a culture is to get to know it from people that live there.
I'm also really looking forward to hosting people in Baltimore or whatever other city I end up in (most likely NYC or Washington, DC!)
