ABOUT ME

I've recently come to admit that I'm a bit of a southern hipster. I love live music and my biggest motivator is seeing someone reach a dream they didn't think they could achieve.

I run an international nonprofit that takes me to a lot of amazing places, working with a lot of incredible people. My co-founder and I have been together for almost 15 years and we have tons of adventures together. So I have about 2 bajillion stories. Friends have described me as a laid back, go with the flow, kind of person.

An advisor once said that I could walk into a hurricane and I would come out the other side with two new friends, a basket of roses, and a chicken.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because I love the new. New places, new people, new ways of looking at the world. I believe that we are all one tribe and every time we connect with a stranger it creates one more positive link in the fabric of society.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm currently learning French and Swahili
