I was born and raised in a small town in Illinois. After university, I moved to Raleigh, North Carolina and started working. I quickly became bored of my job and decided to save up money to travel for a year. I’ve spent the past 4 months in Southeast Asia and now I cannot wait to explore Europe!

The only social media I use with frequency is Instagram. If you want see what I’ve been up to the past 4 months, my handle is @thegoodvagabond

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I want to learn as much as I can about the people, history and culture of each place I visit. This is an amazing opportunity to do just that, and save a little money while doing so!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach golf, budget traveling, and other financial knowledge. I am willing to learn and share just about anything, although I don’t have many material items to share since I’ve been living out of a backpack for the past 4 months.

I can share a good ear, and some amazing travel stories from my time spent in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam.
