CURRENT MISSION

To meet new people and travel as much as I can.

ABOUT ME

My name is Mike, I'm 24, and I've been living in Baltimore for just over a year now. I spend my days guarding the coast, and my downtime trying to take advantage of everything Baltimore has to offer, whether it's a punk show in a converted garage in a questionable part of town or a street festival in Fells Point or Hampden.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to the whole couch surfing thing, but I'm going to Euope in the Spring with a limited budget, so I'm giving it a shot. Till then, I have a couch and some floor space, and I usually host on weekends. I'd be happy to meet for drinks anytime and show people around the city. I can probably show you that place where they filmed that one scene in The Wire if your into that sort of thing, but I think Baltimore has a lot more to offer than Hamsterdam.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have a couple of friends who have had good experiences with CS, and I'm looking forward to trying it myself!

Interests

I'm really into music. I collect vinyl and built my own jukebox for my house. I'm kind of a foodie, so I can definitely give you some recommendations for places to eat in and around the city.
