About Me

I first got the travel bug when at 7 years old I traveled to Wales to meet my mum's family and explore England and France too. Since then I've traveled across the globe on a mission to experience all our shared earth has to offer and learn how I can best give back to the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and especially meeting local people in different places and learning to see from their different perspectives and take in all that their culture has to offer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed the highest mountain in Ghana which was quite a feat. The view from atop the mountain was so incredible and awe inspiring that it was well worth it and probably the most amazing thing I've done thus far in my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe I have a very positive vision for the future of the world which I would like the share with others. I also know a lot about American culture and political views for those that want to learn about the multifaceted country I call home. Finally, I like to laugh a lot and hopefully I can spread happiness and laughter to all those regardless of what language they speak.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, a good laugh, and maybe some home cooked food.
