CURRENT MISSION

Finding myself through losing myself

ABOUT ME

I'm a hopeless travel-addict with terminal wanderlust, and I'm doing my best to see the world at every opportunity I get. When not collecting dust on my shoes, I spend a lot of time playing music (guitar, drums, really anything I can get a hold of) and trying to practice random languages. I also dig reading fantastic nonfiction books and enjoying nature whenever I can escape from my city (hiking, camping, skiing, etc.).

I recently retired from teaching English and am now pursuing a law degree. My life is really just continual journey of self-discovery. I hope I find you along the way :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most Awestruck Moment: having a moment of Zen unity with a massive glacier in southern Iceland.
Most Awkward Moment: one day in Rajasthan, my Indian host mother took my toenail clippers and methodically cut my toenails until one of them bled.
-There's too many good stories of times on the road that left me breathless, amazed, or terrified to recount here!

Teach, Learn, Share

Like many couchsurfers, I see our physical and emotional discovery of the world as a simultaneous discovery of our own personalities.
