About Me

Born and raised in the rural South of The U.S. (Tennessee.)
Graduated Uni and decided I was more interested in traveling than starting a career so I packed up my stuff and headed to Thailand. I lived in Chiang Mai for a year and a half, teaching English and taking in as much as I could.
In late October 2016 I left Thailand and spent a few months backpacking Europe. Earlier this year (2017) I was in Colombia for a while and did a stint in Kosovo.
I'm currently wrapping up a couple of months in Germany before returning to Thailand/ South East Asia to hide out for the winter.

I love good times, good stories, and adventures. Mostly though, I love good people. The places I go are great, but the people I meet are what makes traveling worth it.

I'm a certified Yoga teacher, a terrible (but improving) guitarist, and generally one of the easiest going people you will meet.

I've done everything from Engineers Without Borders to English teaching in a Thai school (and online for Chinese kids!) I have a wide interest in literature, movies, and music and I can promise you we will find some common ground SOMEWHERE.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet great people and see a real "local" view of wherever I go!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Earlier this year I went on a 4~5 day Jungle hike through the Sierra Nevada to see The Lost City of Colombia. One of the hardest treks of my life and an absolutely amazing experience in a beautiful place.
