Hi!

Currently I am wrapping up a two year teaching stint in Africa. I love unexpected adventure, awkward moments, meeting new people who can introduce me to new things!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm likely on couch surfing for some of the same reasons you are! I love exploring the world but not in the typical tourist fashion. I enjoy learning more intimate secrets of the place I am visiting, drinking coffee from the locals favorite café, and talking with people who have fascinating stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spending the last two years in Sub-Sahara Africa in remote villages is pretty kick-ass. Being a part of a community whose lifestyle is so different from your own is incredible. To be taken in as a family member from folks you never dreamed of meeting is community at its finest.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I really hope that I can share the home of people who enjoy trading stories. As much as I'd love to share of few of my favorites, I would just as much love to hear yours. I have found that it can be difficult to find people who are genuinely interested in hearing about other peoples travels. It's great to have a 30 second snapshot story ready for most friends when they ask about your escapades but the pleasure of telling a journey in its entirety is such a joy.

Oh, I've also often heard that I'm a pretty easy housemate. Sign me up to help cook dinner or wash the dishes after our superb meal!
