I do not want for much. Good company and good food will keep me as happy as can be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm 12 years deep and would take back nothing. The only way to explore new places.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking in the Fann mountains, Tajikistan.. Across the river was what looked like the remains of an old village. I hopped over to discover it was still inhabited. I gestured to ask two elderly women if I could take a photograph of them. When I came over they insisted I sat with them on their little stone platform, poured me green tea and brought me homemade bread and yoghurt.

I hitchhiked / couchsurfed my way across the United States from Washington DC to Denver in 2014.

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to do professional card magic on the side so I can teach anyone who has some time, or simply entertain. I can also point you in the direction of some great new music, whoever you are!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a trained chef, and will always be happy to prepare food for anyone at home. Hopefully I will be able to share some knowledge in the process!
