About Me

I'm an entrepreneur based in Austin, Texas, addicted to travel and spend my spare time studying language, snow skiing and rebuilding old Land Rovers.

If you ever travel to Austin and need a place to crash, I'm your huckleberry. Austin has warm weather, plenty of lakes, and great live music...so pack a swim suit and a bottle of Advil!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hitch hiked South America one year after university and before starting work in New York which sent my life on a very different path...I caught the travel bug. This experience taught me that humans are more curious than dangerous and there's something seemingly innocent about 2 strangers interacting when both want to learn about the other. I am always looking toward the next awesome place!

My favorite CouchSurfing host to date was a 93 year old woman on the island of Bermuda who was lovely enough to host me back in 2012

Interests

I'm from a Texas ranching family, have lived in Costa Rica, Argentina & Spain, worked in New York, Dallas & Houston (yep, was investment banker in a previous life), have more degrees than I know what to do with, and love to go out in new places, try new things and meet new people.
