About Me

Hello! I'm an American Peace Corps volunteer living in Kenya. I have a lot of experience motorcycle riding, scuba diving and 3rd world travel. Though I'm an engineer, I've ran companies, acted, flown planes, performed stand-up comedy, cooked pizza, and taught STEM subjects to high schoolers. My real passion is riding, flying, and meeting others with an adventurous lifestyle.

I read a lot of helpful philosophy and do photography and videography as I travel. I am polite, easy-going and want to hear about your travels! Feel free to reach out to me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a first-time Couchsurfer!

For now, I'm surfing because I'll be traveling through much of Morocco and SE Asia starting early December, 2024. I hope to meet pleasant people during this multi-country tour, share stories and really make a novel experience along the way.

I'm extremely easy to get along with and am interested in your story. I write feature films based off my travels and those who I meet along the way. Your story most often makes character inspirations that bring my work to life! You wouldn't be the first person that makes it into my film scripts!

Feel free to reach out with any questions. :)

Morocco (Marrakech, Casablanca, Rabat, Tangier, Tetouan)--Malaysia--Bali--Philippines

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Started a study abroad consulting company.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've taught others how to study abroad, heal from romantic heartbreak, lessons in chemistry, biology, life skills, and many more topics! My wide range of experiences in entertainment, education, social development, and technical career have gifted me with a lot of fun and strange knowledge!

I'm a full-time learner and it never stops. I prefer to hear from my hosts!

What I Can Share with Hosts

- Gracious and easy-going time with someone who is constantly learning
- I'd be happy to provide small gifts, stories, and meals when our schedules line up well
- As a photographer, I'd be happy to take photos for you and share my knowledge about photography
- I have A LOT of movies and would he happy to share my collection with you (mp4 files)

I pack very little and do not take up much space. I've been called a "pleasant conversationalist" and hope to keep that title alive and well. Also, I am a teacher and have experience tutoring students and children in STEM, English, History and general studies. I'm always happy to give a small lesson.
