About Me

ABOUT ME

I’m currently on a 5-year visa in Thailand with an online financial consulting business that allows me to work from anywhere. Previously, I had a day job mostly sitting behind a desk and business travel. After saving enough to say FU, I decided to live my life visiting 100 countries over the next 10 years. I started by driving through Central America and then sold the car and backpacked through South America. Eventually flying to Europe and down through the Middle East and Africa but ended up in Asia. I have been to Thailand many times before and always enjoyed the weather, food and friendly people.

PHILOSOPHY

We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.
- T. S. Eliot -

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To show people around the amazing city of Bangkok because it's like seeing it for the first time through the eyes of others.
