(In this blog. I make my goal come a little bit closer by stepping foot into 2 new states I have never been to which were New Hampshire, and Vermont. This now has brought me up to 34 states in America . My goal is to step foot in all 50 states by the age of 30 . I am currently 24 ) I took a huge last minute road trip recently from Baltimore to Burlington, Vermont. This trip would have my girlfriend and I visit many other places during this trip including Montreal, Que'bec, Canada. The meaning of this trip was to visit and stay with a friends who just moved up to VT. We stopped in so many states on our way up such as PA, DE, NJ, NY, we stayed in Bridgeport, CT for the night with one Kim's Peace Corp friends. We passed the WWE head quarters on our way up which unleashed the nerd inside of me! We continued and made it to her friends house K. She literally just moved into her new house that day. It was huge with nothing in it except her amazing golde...

The Price Is Right did a rerun of my episode today August 18th, 2014 I am back from San Francisco! It was an incredible trip. My trip took place August 7th and I came back August 13th. I took it with one of my best friends I've known since second grade, Adam Booz. We did so much in less then a week, and I have HUGE story to tell down below about it all. Starting off I should say the travel adviser for this trip screwed a few things up. The dates got confused. I was booked for the wrong day and had a lot of things I had to do myself to make sure my flight dates were the same as my hotel dates because trust me they weren't before I called and checked. I choose the dates of my trip to be August 7th-13th .  I choose these dates because this is when Outside Lands Music Festival was happening, unfortunately by the time the travel adviser confirmed he could give me these dates the tickets to the festival were already sold out, but it was completely fine! I got to watch and li...

This year I won some prizes on The Price Is  Right . One of the major things I won was a trip to Lake Tahoe Nevada/California boarder line. My hotel was literally on the state line! I also won $400 worth of golf, and a rental car which is a big part of this story. This is also the first time I have ever been on a plane. We woke up at 6 am, and got on the plane at 7:54 am. I have never been on a plane, and this was a really incredible experience for me as for I want to do world traveling my whole life but have never wanted to really do it by plane, but now I see plane's aren't bad at all and I actually really enjoyed the ride. We had a layover in Salt Lake City, Utah. That was my first time ever in UT . I got to walk around the airport a bit and see all the mountains outside. It was gorgeous. We finally arrived in Reno, Nevada which was also my first time ever in NV . We took a 1 hour shuttle to our hotel in South Lake Tahoe... I stayed at the Lake Tahoe Resort Hotel, with o...

UPCOMING SCHEDULE: I have a huge schedule coming up!!! I'm excited to announce my first plane ride will be July 10th, 2014 with Thom Merrill. I am taking a plane from Baltimore to Reno then catching a shuttle to Lake Tahoe, Nevada and I will probably walk to Lake Tahoe, California too but before then I have a 3 hour layover in Salt Lake City, so I definitely have a lot of exploring to do in the very near future. Following that Artscape is the next weekend after I come back. I plan on trying to get my band The Shaky Experience to play a set sometime while it's going on weather it's a parking lot, laundry room, or bathroom. I want to be heard!!! I want people to sing back to our hit song Fossils, yelling "You're SO OLD!" during Baltimore's biggest Art festival Then I have two more week in Baltimore till I cash in on my last trip to San Francisco!!! W/ Adam Booz (I've known this guy since second great). This trip is going to be extra great as for Out...

I took a road trip from Baltimore to Atlanta . I went with my girlfriend to go see my favorite We Are Scientists . It was a eventful trip. We left Sunday morning and arrived back Wednesday morning. I had a amazing time and a incredible few days. I left for Atlanta Sunday morning as soon as I got off of work at the hostel around 7:00 am May 18th. Kim picked me up and we started the drive there. Kim and I went snack crazy at the dollar store the day before and picked up lots of fresh fruit too. She decked out a back seat bed for me which turned out I wouldn't need it because I feel 1 of the number 1 travelers rules is to stay awake with your fellow traveler when driving far distances! I mean you have to keep them entertained so no one crashes!!! We brought my camcorder and filmed the scenery as we passed through DC, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. We had mini dance parities in the car and had a fantastic time! We had about 1000 pee breaks because we bo...

I recently just got back from St. Petersburg, Florida. It was an incredible time. I went to go be with my girlfriend at her best friends wedding, which turned out to be delicious Cuban foods, free booze, and a ton of nice Florida people. I took the Greyhound from Baltimore to Tampa and back. The trip took me 24 hours each way to get there. It was a exhausting journey but definitely worth it in the end. I paid next to nothing especially when purchasing the tickets only 1 day in advanced! The reason it cost so little was because I used my Greyhound Voucher that GH hooked me up with after the incident with my bus catching on fire. Anyway after 24 hours leaving Baltimore. I made it to Tampa to be in the presence of my lovely girlfriend. She drove me around, showed me a few sites, and introduced me to her parents. It was fantastic! We met with one of her friends and went to a beach in St. Pete and dipped our feet in the Gulf Of Mexico and relaxed. It was honestly just what I needed ...
