My name is Duke. I’m from Alaska. I’m an English Teacher. I’m also a long time professional Carpenter that built custom homes in beautiful places around Alaska.

I worked many years of summers in Alaska. And then in the winters, I would teach English in various places around the globe(China, Ecuador, Guatemala, and Thailand). And travel as well.

I’ve been living in Thailand on Koh Samui Island the past three years and teaching at a university there. I stopped working construction, because I wanted to focus on teaching and volunteering. I came to Colombia this past June and I love it.

I love traveling this beautiful earth and experiencing all its wonders. I love meeting all the amazing people who are doing great things to make this world more loving and kind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting amazing people. And I love sharing my home when I’m there.
