About Me

CURRENT MISSION I am traveling the US perimeter on foot. I started in Sarasota, FL. I’m stopping to smell the roses along the way as opposed to just plowing through. It’s been great so far and people have been quite generous. There's a whole world out there and I want to see as much of it as I can before I can't anymore...

ABOUT ME I quit my career in 2019 and traveled to several countries and much of the US, I concluded that I don’t want to live the traditional modern lifestyle anymore.

I do standup comedy and play music, both for fun. My goal is to do it all for charity and for those in need such as at a prison I performed at in May 2022. It was the most fulfilling performance to date.

My goal is also not to make money at it but to live eventually as a vagabond which I am doing now and spreading laughter as much as possible. Perhaps getting paid in food, maybe a place to sleep and perhaps a ride to the next venue. This is something I have to figure out how to do and I’m currently working on it as I continue this walk.

PHILOSOPHY To enjoy it while I still can as this may be all I have.

My couch surfing experiences have been great experiences with great people.

I joined CouchSurfing years ago with the hopes of starting what I am doing now.
