CURRENT MISSION

To support my addiction to the road and the written word.

ABOUT ME

I’ll keep this brief. I’m a traveler, plain and simple. I seek to encounter new experiences, new places and new people. Along the way I like to write, and pick up a language if I have the time. The hard knocks I’ve been put though on the road have enlightened me to two incontrovertible facts: Things will change, and there will be problems. I use these instruments of wisdom to keep my bones in their skin and ensure that my life is an adventure to the very last minute.

PHILOSOPHY

If you feel like you’re walking a tightrope between the chasms of lunacy and ingenuity, you’re on the right path.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in a tiny village called Babadayhan in the Central Asian Republic of Turkmenistan for two years. During that time I taught English, helped preserve the local language, herded goats, and wrote a book.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’ve been up, down and around the globe. If you’re going to a place I’ve been to, hit me up and I’ll give you my take and a contact if I’ve got one :)
