About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find the magic mango sheeps.

ABOUT ME

I am a 27 year old that can interact with 50 year olds as well as 15 year olds. I have ran marathons competitively for the past 6 years. Currently go to Law school and coach on the side. I am very laid back and the more offbeat the activities the better. I try to travel back to Africa at least every 6 months to work with some schools and training centers.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life as you see fit. I tend to get things done and if I want to try something I will get there. Not recklessly, but may as well take the opportunities as they come.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I had a friend show me the power of the couch surf and would love to open up my place to travelers as well as meet a few new friends while traveling. I have started to spread the word of how great of a unique experience this project is. To meet others that you normally would not have the opportunity to interact with.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had fantastic experiences and met amazing people while surfing in various places in the United States and Spain as well as hosting people from far away lands like Chicago, Germany, and Spain.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen the sunrise over the Great Rift Valley of Kenya from almost 20,000 feet.

Teach, Learn, Share

Lesson 1-Wet shoes in a sealed plastic bag for two weeks is not a good idea.
lesson 2-Putting on a bike race in Rwanda may not be a good idea in the Rwanda Police's eyes.
