About Me

My wife Aubry and I are a couple of minimalist who are in the process of transitioning to living full time on the road.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of our favorite things about travel is learning the culture and personality of each city. We are crazy about San Antonio and love living downtown, right in the center of everything, but we are even more excited about being able to get to know cities all over North and South America.

Music, Movies, and Books

Aubry and I are both musicians and big music nerds. I love indie folk and indie rock - that's mostly what I play as well - Bon Iver, Sufjan Stevens, Manchester Orchestra, Penny & Sparrow, Typhoon, Explosions in the Sky, etc. Also love rap and R&B - Kendrick, Chance, Danny Brown, Anderson .Paak, Aesop Rock, etc.

Top book list would be hard. I'd have to include Atlas Shrugged, Moby Dick, Les Miserables, the Road, The Stranger, The Sun Also Rises, Slaughterhouse Five. For Philosophy - Beyond Good and Evil, The God Delusion, the Tao te Ching, Ecclesiastes & Job, and most other religious works.

Movies would include anything by Wes Anderson or QuintinTarantino or anything apocalyptic. Don't know as much about movies as I wish I did.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I graduated college when I was 18 and worked a while on Capitol Hill for a congressmen. Pre-graduation I focused on the refugee crisis in Southeast Asia, Myanmar in particular, so I traveled semi-frequently to Myanmar and Singapore. I've spent the last year and a half in sales for an Ed-Tech startup here in San Antonio called Lumerit Education. My wife works for the same company in Social Media Marketing and Community Development. The next amazing thing hopefully will be traveling all over North and South America!

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you're in San Antonio, we'd love to share it with you because it is such a part of us, and we'd like to experience that kind of love from others about their own cities.
