ABOUT ME

I'm a digital nomad. Former online dating copywriter (yes, that's a thing :) I've written and edited thousands of dating profiles and set up hundreds of dates for clients over the years.

In 2018, I flew from Austin, Texas to India and have been living and traveling here ever since. Often found drinking chai or eating masala pizza.

Looking forward to meeting you in our travels.

P.S. Once I was a hitchhiker, who took selfies with ~1000 people: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKWMBwc3Qyo&t=42s

Ahh, to be young ;)

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I've surfed all over the USA, hosted in my home state of Michigan and am looking forward to meeting travelers in India.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I'm the founder of https://ChaiNomad.com

I'm also a member (aka the writer and editor). I love making videos for Youtube and meeting locals in my travels.

I was once a Program Director of a Wilderness School where I helped at-risk troubled kids talk about their feelings! Yeah, "thugs" crying. I have learned the art of communicating honestly with people. I feel so blessed to have found this school it changed my life and I made my best friends in the world there.
