About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world and live an exciting enough life to have something decent to write about.

ABOUT ME

I am a graduate of Emerson College in Boston, MA. After spending some time couch hopping in Boston, I took to the road on my bicycle and am currently travellng across the U.S. I am relying on my own survival skills and the kindnesss of others in this venture and keeping a log of it all on www.thefreewheelprojec.tumblr.com

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live. Try to be happy, and never stop anyone else from trying.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have shown some people around DC and Boston in the past but currently I am JUST TRAVELLING and have no home or city out of which I am based. Therefor my participation is limited t your hospitality.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed with a couple people during a backpacking trip through South America last summer and did a bit while homeless (but employed) in Boston the last couple months. Now I am hoping to stay with people throughout the US.

Interests

Traveling, outdoor sports including hiking, kayaking and above all, biking. Reading and writing, food and cooking, drinking and most things DIY.

Music, Movies, and Books

My list of books could go on for pages... I don't listen to that much music but I like mostly reggae, jazz classic rock, some rap, some folk and a little bit of a lot of other genres.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking the Swiss Alps last summer was one incredible experience I had, and also one of the most physically taxing. It was absolutely gorgeous and unforgettable though.
Going to President Obama's inauguration and seeing my home city, Washington, DC, turn into something completely different for a few days, was surreal and incredible. Climbing a tree there and looking out on two million people all gathered to celebrate one thing was very powerful.
So far I have biked close to 500 miles down the east coast. My neck is in constant pain because I refuse to look at the pavement.
