ABOUT ME

I did an incredible trip around the world in 2012, couchsurfing and staying at friends and hostels all year. I met so many great people traveling, out of all the experiences it was the people who made the trip remarkable.

My best friends would say I'm fired up and always down, and that they can count on me.

PHILOSOPHY

You can go anywhere; do anything; be whoever you want to be.

But it doesn't just happen...you have to go out and get it.

Let your light shine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2012 I traveled the world for 11 months.

I would say my life is a collection of the amazing experiences I've had. I've been to many spectacular sporting events and places throughout the USA, including football and baseball games and 47 out of 50 states.

Another incredible moment was climbing Mt. Whitney, the highest mountain in the continental United States, with three generations of my family: grandfather, mother, uncle, cousin and myself.

Teach, Learn, Share

My strongest area of expertise is recruitment - recruiting others to an organization, a cause, or an adventure.

I would very much like to learn about the places I visit from a local perspective.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Austria, Belgium, China, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Singapore, Spain, Thailand, United Kingdom, Viet Nam
