I’m usually game for most things. I don’t enjoy planning. Some of the best memories I have were times nothing was planned and just went with the moment. On the flip side it’s how I’ve had had to sleep on a bench next to the lady making/selling egg sandwiches at the bus station. Like most everyone on couch surfing I like traveling and meeting new people.

I served in the Peace Corps in Ghana.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people, sharing stories, and getting new travel advice. I enjoying seeing and experiencing new places as locals do. Isn’t that why were are here. It’s the people first the place second.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drove a tuktuk in a 12 day race across India and through the Himalayas 🛺

I did the Camino de Santiago starting in France, across Spain and down into Portugal. Walked 1,000 miles across Europe, I walked for 2 months. I’ve now walked another Camino de Santiago, from Lisbon to Santiago.

White water rafting down the Zambezi River in Zambia. Most exciting day of my life!
