Hi! My names Matthew, I’m 22 and live in Annapolis Maryland. At the moment I am focused on directing a small nonprofit called Joy Grows, but am taking a few days off to get my free diving certification in West Palm Beach from Live Free Diving. A possible side quest is going to Lake Okeechobee to test fly a floatplane.

I am considering wether I will rent a car or stick with public transport for this trip. Please let me know if you are close to Live Free Diving (they’re in n Rivera Beach), close to bus stops, or if you’d like to help me get around. The full dates of my trip are Friday 7/11 to Tuesday 7/15.

Thank you for considering hosting me, if we do connect, I am excited to learn about what you are passionate about and share my own excitements as well. Ps cooking and shared meals are meaningful to me, and shared books!
