I was born and raised in the North East Kingdom of Vermont USA. I studied Math and Electrical Engineering at University. Then I moved to the Bay Area with my sister and I worked at wineries for nine years. In those nine years I did most of my travelling and worked in New Zealand and Chile. I also received an associates degree in Viticulture and Enology. Then I moved to Chile for a couple years. Then back to Vermont for three years where I got certified to teach high school Math while I worked at my local brewery and on some tree farms. After teaching one year of high school Math I joined Peace Corps and have been in Uganda for the last two and a half years. I am currently looking for a way to stay in UG and earn money.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hate paying a lot for hotels, and I like helping people save money by not paying for hotels. I'm also really good at sleeping on couches.
