About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live

ABOUT ME

I've lived all over the U.S. and I've spent the last 6 years and change in Phuket, Thailand. I love to travel and I love to eat. I'll try just about anything. Food says so much about a country's culture and history. I like meeting new people, and am down for just about whatever you've got in mind. I've worked in restaurants since I was 16, so hospitality is my passion.

I own a bar on the main strip in Patong Beach, so I spend a lot of time there. I'll tell you now, if you've not been here before, it will blow your mind. Chances are slim that you've seen anything like it before.

PHILOSOPHY

Up to you...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host people when they come through Phuket. I surf couches when I have time to leave, and I tell everyone that comes to my bars about the program so that it will get even bigger.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted way more than I've surfed, but hopefully in the next couple months when the bar slows down I can put some more surfing experience under my belt.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In the Blue Mountains in Australia, I stood in between a waterfall and the open mountains about 3 feet away from the edge of a 2-300 foot drop. It was an amazing view and feeling.

I sold everything I owned and came to Thailand at 24 with $2500, two bags, and my guitar with no place to live and no job. I'm still kickin' around...
