I live in Ohio, but I work extensively in South Asia as well. Through my job I come alongside indigenous pastors and missionaries throughout South Asia, helping them reach their own people. I work on disaster relief, poverty alleviation, education grants, persecution related needs, and a whole host of other things.

I'm a reader, a learner, a listener, and traveler. South Asia and Eastern Europe have my heart. Hungary is my favorite country in the world. I love Americans but if you're not from the US, I'll probably get along with you even better!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to invite others into my life, and create a welcoming and hospitable environment.

I know Columbus isn't the most exciting of places, but I'd be happy to help you out while you're here! I've lived here on and off my whole life, so I know my way around.

Also, selfishly, I want to be able to stay with others when I travel too!
