CURRENT MISSION

To walk about in different places with nary a backpack and shadow. I've waited my whole life to be this free.

ABOUT ME

I am a person. A brother. A son. A godfather.

I am a non-practicing believer - am in love with ambition, and will sometimes remove myself from the scene by design. I am an addictive personality and a climber of trees.

I tell them about this other world of people who share stories and good company... and everyone stares at me in amazement.

And yes - one day I do hope to come home (did I mention I'm going around the world this year?) and offer my couch to some other world traveler who happens to pass through.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had none. I can't wait to find out what it's like.
