Overview
About Me
I'm currently living in Swaziland, a small country in southern Africa. I've been here since June 2017, and since then I've been living with local families, teaching in high schools and learning the language.
My hope is to visit 25 countries by 25. And I'm always looking to make new travel friends.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I've been fortunate to have an awesome couch surfing experience when I traveled to D.C. and was able to meet some really great hosts when I drove across the country (twice!)
I love meeting new people, and the couchsurfing kind are just my type. As an added bonus you often get to see local favorites that you otherwise might miss.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Bungee jumped at Victoria Falls.
Spent two weeks backpacking through Arkansas in the rain and snow.
Drove across the country, well part of the way before my car died on the side of the road, then managed to catch a ride with a long lost high school classmate 2,000 miles away from home.
Traveled through Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Nevada and California on an incredible two month road trip.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I'm happy to cook some of my favorite american dishes, talk about our travels or even help you practice your English.
I've also helped with child care and worked in family run shops during longer stays.
