I grew up in Nashville, Tennesee before dropping down some serious roots in Austin, TX for 7 years. Recently I decided that I needed a significant change in my life and I left the US for uncharted waters. I am currently traveling in South America with the goal of improving my spanish so I can better connect with locals and their communities that I interact with along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This site allows people to break down physical and social boundaries and make unique connections with the people who live in the many beautiful cities that I would like to visit. Although there are often many hostels available in a city, I want to pop the bubble and get to know the people of south america.

After a year of planning, a close friend and I bought a boat in Florda and sailed it ~5000 miles through the Caribbean from FL to Trinidad. An unforgettable experience; I learned a lot about sailing, the fickle ocean, and of course myself along the way.
