People are awesome. Let’s exchange life stories and have a laugh over some whiskey.

I honestly prefer short notice travelers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love meeting locals and having them show me around.
On the flip side I take no greater pleasure than showing travelers Texas

Interests

Sharing a bottle of wine on the beach under the stars, a beer at a local dive bar, a cocktail at a roof top 5 star restaurant, or jug of moonshine under an overpass.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been blessed with so many amazing experiences. From sailing the Virgin Islands, to studying in Argentina, to doing a zip line tour through Costa Rica, experiencing Machu Picchu twice, going on a photo safari in South Africa, or being able to view art in the Vatican in hallways not open to the public.... I am just so excited to see what else is in store!

The most amazing experiences though have been the people I have met on my journeys. I would take experiencing a new person in a new place over seeing a scenic or historical site any day.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will always show you a good time. You can count on that.
