I was born and raised in San Antonio, TX. I studied Cyber Security in college and have been working in the field for almost 10 years. When I am not working, I'm either out with friends, at a live show, or out of town adventuring . I am a huge San Antonio Spurs (NBA) and Dallas Cowboys (NFL) fan. I played in several many hockey leagues (both inline and ice) growing up so I love going out for a skate every once in a while. My friends would say I am in the life of the party and very social but I am pretty independent as well.. I am what you call a social introvert (although friends don't believe it). I have never been married and don't have kids which is why I am traveling as much as possible if and when that time comes :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and making friends from all around the world and I think Couchsurfing is a great opportunity to do so. I find it amazing how travelers are able to travel the world and go on amazing adventures on such a low budget. In the past 5-6 years, I have realized that I value experiences over material things. Experiences stay with you forever. This is my first time in my life living outside of the USA and I love it so far. I moved here January 2019 and I have already seen so much and made many amazing friends from around the world. It's important to see as much as possible before you get to a time in life where it's not possible (or feasible). That is one of the main reasons why I am on here... not only to meet new friends and learn about other cultures, but to aid in the goal for others to see the world :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I helped a stranger (now friend) see her favorite band perform at a show in Texas. She couldn't afford a ticket. I told her I won the ticket from a radio station. I really bought the ticket from a friend who wasn't able to attend. We jammed out from the front row ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I was born and raised in San Antonio, TX USA and I am more than happy to help travelers with improving their English speaking skills.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I moved to Stuttgart in January 2019 and will be here for at least a few years. I am more than happy to open up my apartment to travelers wanting to explore the city for a few days! I love meeting new friends while also learning about different cultures :)
