Overview
About Me
An avid world traveler looking to meet fellow travelers and locals on my trips across the world
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I don't want to spend my trip staying in hostels with folks who don't know the area, language, culture, etc. Looking to exchange stories and make friends.
I've only had great experiences through CS and I believe it's a special community of friends looking out for one another.
Looking forward to returning the favor for anyone coming through Washington, DC in the future!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
For two years I lived in Lesotho, Southern Africa in a round, thatched-roof, hut without running water or electricity while teaching kids English using Sesotho. I taught kids how to swim, conducted multiple HIV testing events, directed a girls empowerment camp, and invested in my community, building relationships and ultimately changed my life forever.
Teach, Learn, Share
I've got plenty of stories from living in Lesotho and traveling Southern Africa and SE Asia
