Hello couchsurfing community!

I recently returned from two years in Benin, West Africa with the Peace Corps. Before that, I was born and bred in Florida, USA. Along the way, I've developed a passion for giving back to communities and learning more about the world and its awesome people. Honestly, I'll get along with anyone who loves good food and deep talks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that the best way to learn and to ultimately give back is through an open mind and through pursuing diverse experiences.

"Life is a daring adventure or nothing at all." -Helen Keller
