About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the world one old squeaky couch at a time. No actually traveling is my passion. I took my first trip to Brazil in the summer of 2013 and haven't looked back. I'm always on the lookout for the next adventure and llive on the edge.

ABOUT ME

I'm as easy going as they come. I honestly think I would rather meet new people than hang out with those I already know, which is why couch surfing is one of the greatest things I have done. I'm one of the most spontaneous people you'll meet. Working at an airline has helped me channel this into last minute trips around the world. I'm always down for a fun time and like bud lights advertisement..."up for whatever".

PHILOSOPHY

-Music takes us where words can not-
-The world is a book, and those who don't travel, have only read a page-

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only surfed couches in Brazil and that was without being able to hold a solid conversation, so I'm excited to share the experience with people I truly can get to know.

Interests

I love music, I'm a wedding DJ on the weekends. I'm a minimalist, probably one of the most frugal people you'll meet when it comes to spedning money on myself. I'm a huge sports fanatic when it comes to football, soccer, and basketball. I've always had a deep desire to meet people from every corner of the world and continue to grow my global understanding of what makes each and every individual so unique.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movie and Music junky, i'm open to about anything under the blue moon. Now that i'm out of college I've just started reading for pleasure, so looking to add to the list soon.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in Brazil is probably the craziest thing I have done. Going to a country you barely speak the language on a whim was exhilerating and terrifying all at the same time, but teaching english opened my eyes to a whole nother world and the beauty of the kids of Brazil.

Teach, Learn, Share

Share awesome stories from skydiving, to train jumping, to international travels, along with a new perspective on life.
