About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To Visit All Seven Continents: Antarctica is the only one left.

ABOUT ME

I live by the phrase "When in Rome..." I know it's a cliche but I have always tried to live my life to the fullest through traveling, exploring, and embracing. I am planning on going to law school this fall and I am really excited about it. I have a lot more to say so just strike up a conversation and I'll be sure to give you some more insight into my life.

PHILOSOPHY

Before I say no to doing anything insane, visiting somewhere exotic, or any decisions that will change my life I consult with my one and only phrase "When in Rome..." I don't care so much about sleep when I am traveling because I am the type of person that likes to see everything that he can in the short amount of time he has while in a specific country.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have just recently joined so I am a new contributor, however, I am offering a place to stay and I hope I can meet people along the way of my travels. I wish I had discovered about this place when I traveled around Ghana, that would have been helpful in tiny cities where hotels, hostels, or basically anywhere to stay was not even a thought in this city. We ended up staying with a very nice family, fyi. I look forward to meeting new people...so feel free to contact me!

Interests

Guitar-ing, trading stocks (as if I'm good at it), hanging out with my wonderful girlfriend and playing with my puppy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent the night in Kakum National Park & Rainforest in Ghana. The morning I woke up, I went on a canopy walk in which I was 40 meters in the air (at the top of the rainforest) and only supported by a few beams and a wood & rope bridge. It was crazy, dangerous, and so damn fun!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been to a lot of places and experienced a lot of different cultures and as I move forward to learning more about new cultures I will continue to share my knowledge.
