About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see as much of Africa as I can.

ABOUT ME

I'm a currently serving Peace Corps Volunteer entering my third (and final) year of service in the Mountain Kingdom of Lesotho in Southern Africa.

PHILOSOPHY

Laugh about it. Don't take yourself too seriously, and patience will get you through most of life without many a tussle.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

-Oslo and Bergen, Norway
-Cork, Ireland

I couchsurfed a handful of times while I was living and traveling in Europe, but it was always facilitated through friends that had profiles. Now that I'm living abroad again, I thought using this site would be helpful while traveling. All of my couchsurfing experiences have been extremely positive -- they were exchanges and people I will never forget, and I feel I got so much more out of the place I was visiting because of them.
