I grew up in Texas, lived in NYC for a few years, travelled the world, and am now back in Texas working on a product to revolutionize the way we grow food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I host when I can, and I've had some amazing surfing experiences, but these days I tend to just enjoy connecting with travelers or people who have something unique to share.

I have made incredible friendships all over world through Couchsurfing. It's by far my favorite travel companion.

My best experience was traveling in unknown territory in Africa all night and showing up in pitch black darkness to find a wonderful man with an entire guest house for couch surfers. We awoke the next morning on the bank of a gorgeous river in the middle of an orchard.

Interests

Travel, of course. Adventures big and small. Breaking a few rules.

Writing, music, art, dancing until the wee hours--mostly to '60s Rock, Hip Hop, Motown, or Bossa Nova.
