About Me

As of September 18, 2022, I will no longer be on couchsurfing. I am tired of how poorly the site is being run, and do not want to pay in order to host people in my home. It’s been a fun few years on here, but the entire site seems to be getting worse as time goes on. So i’ll make peace with it, and move on.

Living and working at a university in Pogradec, Albania. One of my favorite parts of traveling is meeting new people and learning new cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because when I travel somewhere I prefer to learn about the culture/place from people who live there. I don't enjoy reading all about a place on the internet but would rather spend time with locals who can show my the best things to do and places to go. By being on couchsurfing it allows me to meet locals and talk to them.

Interests

Photography, adventuring, anything in the water (cliff jump, snorkel, free dive, surf, SUP, etc.), videography, traveling, living life

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moved to Albania (without knowing the language) from the USA because I was ready for an adventure.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’ve lived in Albania for just over a year and but I have been making YouTube videos about the life, culture, traditions, etc. Because of this I’ve done tons of research on different aspects of the country and can share a good bit of information about it. Or, you can just go watch my videos ;)
