I’m a rock climber from the United States (Nashville, Tennessee) with a degree in molecular biology. Before going to medical school, my wife and I are taking a year off to travel the world!

We love discovering all the unique flavors of destinations around the world—foods, smells, people, culture, tradition, ideas, businesses, missions, values—and exploring how we can integrate the things we love most into our own lives, wherever we may be.

We have many big goals. One day, we hope to open a coffee shop/restaurant that cultivates health and inspires exploration and connection with the community around it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Our favorite way to travel is by making genuine connections with people in the places we visit. We love learning how locals live and this is the best platform for that very reason!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled to all 50 of the US states before I was 14 years old!

Teach, Learn, Share

Do at least one hard thing daily. It trains your brain to desire challenge rather than avoid it. Also take cold showers!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

We like to cook, so we’ll gladly cook you a meal as best we can. We can also teach you how to play tennis or rock climb and/or compete in any other sport you want to play.
Other than that, we can offer quality company and conversation!
