Originally from Dallas, Texas but now working remotely for an agency in Washington D.C. and living in California. Served in the Peace Corps in Uganda, thru-hiked the Te Araroa trail in New Zealand, spent two years traveling/living in my truck, and now have settled (?) in Northern California.

I have met incredible people through couch surfing, especially during my time in New Zealand. I would like to extend the favor to others now that I have a roof over my head. However, I travel often for work so I may not be able to host regularly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best part of traveling is the people you meet :)
