ABOUT ME My wife and I currently live in Washington, DC but will be taking the next 5 months to explore new parts of the world. My heart and passions lie in poverty alleviation and learning to better love the people around me. Most of my travels have taken me to places where I've had the opportunity to learn more about these passions and myself. PHILOSOPHY Self-forgetfulness in the presence of Greatness is the solution for complete joy.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I love spreading the word of couchsurfing to friends and family. CSing has been such an amazing part of my travels and I make sure that people know it! Im always excited to host fellow surfers and share my culture with them as they have theirs. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I've experienced the generosity of Couch Surfing on 3 continents and have been blessed and educated through each one. Thank you all.
Music, Movies, and Books
I'm a full-blown bluegrass addict yet I cant get enough of traditional reggae and international tunes. As for books, there's nothing that keeps my attention like the open road (Jupiters Travels, Kerouac, and the less related Hemmingway)
