CURRENT MISSION

To travel around the world meeting new people, experiencing the normal, the crazy and in between. If I can do any of those on motorbikes even better!

ABOUT ME

World traveler, blogger, dj, dancer and scooterist. I love traveling the world to find new friends and new adventures.

My interests are mainly traveling, music, craft beer, indie movies and riding motorbikes though I am willing to try almost anything three times if the first two don't kill me, ha ha.

Some of the best times I've had traveling have been by being hosted by Couchsurfers or just meeting up for a drink. Seeing the city with a local is the best way to connect with a place.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that time goes by faster than we imagine and that life is short - this motivates me to do and see as much as possible while I can.

Finding people to connect with all over the world is one of life's most rewarding experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted several times at my house in Richmond and surfed a few times as well in several different countries.

When there are CS events I try to attend because I love meeting up with fellow travelers and locals who love to show off their town.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted people from Scotland and Germany.

I surfed with people in Peru, Belize and Estonia.

Interests

Swing dancing, riding motorcycles, traveling, craft beer, music (especially indie and punk, but I have been known to dance like an idiot to Tiesto), enjoying life and meeting new people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I have done this past year was riding a motorbike 4,700 km from the South of Vietnam up to the North.

Second to that was trekking to Macchu Pichu.

The 14 months I spent backpacking around the world was truly one of the most amazing things I've ever done.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to swing dance/lindy hop and will trade lessons for beer, ha ha.
