About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make it back to Baltimore then back to San Francisco in an endless loop apparently.

ABOUT ME

Some things that are very important to me are my art and photography, reading and writing, and the moped community (yup. Check out mopedarmy.com) I have been traveling through the US for the past eight months hitch hiking, motorbiking, train riding, wwoofing, and driving recently.

PHILOSOPHY

Live fast and ride slow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My contributions thus far are very little but I hope to swap many stories, share some great cooking, and create great experiences with my hosts and hopefully become a well established host once I finally settle down.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Other than being friends with many surfers I have yet to catch the wave. Please help me break the ice. Otherwise I have only ran into the most wonderful people during my travels. Don't listen to your mother or the news when they tell you not to catch rides with strangers!
