About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Keep away from the set ways of life.

ABOUT ME

I simply love adventure. Mountains, surf, bikes, people, flying, falling off my bike, teaching, cliff-jumping, running, and November Project.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met some guys on a bus in Scotland that lived in London that were from South Africa. We ended up becoming good friends and spending loads of time on each other's couches while I lived there.

I've also couchsurfed in Colorado, Texas, California, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Hawaii.

I'm proud to say I'm a "legacy" couchsurfing member, and I've been around here for 8 years!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode my bicycle 3,150 miles from Los Angeles to Washington, DC. America is big, beautiful, and strange, filled with big, beautiful, and strange people. I've also been a high school English teacher to underprivileged students. That was probably the most amazing year of my life.
