About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Navigate the world through the lens of faith, hope, and love.

ABOUT ME

Hey Hey ever since I went couch surfing around Europe with my buddy Ashley my life hasn't been the same. I'm an American, living in New Zealand, that has traveled to 25+ countries on 6 continents and is approaching 4 years away from home with combined trips/study/living etc. I know what it's like to travel, to feel like your a fish out of water in a big city and that's no fun. Would love to provide you with a place to stay to support the global family.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a Christian and halfway through my degree in Theology in Auckland. I've read everything from the classics and the Bible to Bertrand Russel and post modern philosophers... Want to chat? Let's chat. Don't want to? Let's grab a beer.
