I quit my job in tech to travel the world for a while. I’m from the US. I didn’t start traveling until I was 26, but I got hooked and have since traveled internationally for at least four weeks a year.

I’m an amateur photographer and enjoy learning new things on YouTube.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m here to meet new people in new places and experience different cultures.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’m traveling long-term with just a 25L daypack. I used to travel in larger backpacks, but over the years I’ve learned to travel lighter without missing anything.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to travel lighter. I hate to see people breaking their backs carrying giant backpacks that are too big to carry on a plane. Most people probably can’t go as small as I can, but there’s a nice sweet spot around 40L that I think most people can hit.

I speak English natively and am pretty good at grammar rules, so I can help you learn the language.

I can teach you how to take better photos with your phone, as well as basic photo editing techniques.

I can teach you how to move one eye at a time to freak people out. 👀
