About Me

I was born in Canada and moved to Texas at the age of 6. I am always told this is such a strange dichotomy. I have spent time in North America, Africa, Europe, Asia, and Australia. I majored in Finance and Psychology. I am always told this is such a strange dichotomy. I have lived life as a security guard, construction work, high school teacher, recruiter and project manager. I am a poet with an affinity for mathematics. I am always told this is such a strange dichotomy. I tend to think globally, but can get lost in the moment -- I always think this is such a strange dichotomy -- beautifully strange.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Throughout my time traveling I have realized the only way to truly know a place is to know the people who live there. I want to provide that opportunity to others as well as use it as a way to see a country, city, neighborhood through the lens of someone who lives it day in and day out. It doesn't hurt that it is a good way to save money.
