About Me

Update as of Sept 2019: currently on a road trip in lur self converted camper van! We started june of 2019 and plan to make our way to Argentina by May of 2020! Would love to meet some friendly faces along the way :) its just been my girlfriend and I 24/7 so a good conversation can help me looaaddddds!

UPDATE: Hi! I live in the center of Wrocław with my girlfriend, Asia; we would love to host you :)

I am originally from NY and Asia is originally from Poland.

...

I look forward to the day I settle down and return the favor of hosting travelers from around the world. For a community that has given me incredible experiences, taught me the greatest of lessons, and continuously pushed me forward on my journey, I thank you all :) ❤️

World Traveller, Aspiring Author & Amateur Photographer. Currently writing a book on love and would LOVE your input :)

*DISCLAIMER*: My girlfriend thinks its necessary to clarify that 1) I am sincerely researching love for a book that I am writing and 2) this is NOT a weird attempt at getting laid

I have an adventurous spirit, always able to have a good laugh, and more than capable of holding my end on a philosophical discussion. I love to snowboard, drink espresso, and eat good food. & over the past few years, i have developed a bit of an obsession with street art.

I have a BIG journey ahead of me the next few years. Ive started in France on Feb 12 and will head east through Italy, Malta, the Balkans, then to the Middle East, parts of Asia, and back down to Africa. I appreciate any size couch :)) ... UPDATE: this journey always changes... the above is nottt accurate, so please provide input and recommendations :))

I have a newfound love for any and all Milan Kundera books, which has led me down a journey of Slavic authors

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing anyone can do is inspire at least one person in their lifetime. It is my goal to do this with every person i meet, including YOU :)

During these years i've moonshined rum in the depths of the jungle, slept in a hammock for a year straight in a sustainable community, hiked between remote villages, learned a new language, snowboarded the greatest mountains, & met the greatest people. I've held professional and semi-professional careers, but now it is time for me to search on my own.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love sharing stories of experiences, and I find the beauty in a good story lies on the difficulty and heaviness of the burden that it holds.

Once upon a time I was a sustainable entrepreneurship professor to groups of students. It may have been the most rewarding thing I have done!!

I can teach english, converse in many theories, philosophize on endless topics, share stories on life experiences, and learn together the beauty of friendship

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can provide many adventurous stories, help clean the house, encourage the use of sustainable methods, and give advice on entrepreneurship
