About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see as much of the world as possible

ABOUT ME

Love mountain trekking and overseas backpacking. I launched a social enterprise called Peak Explorations in 2016. A little over a year later I quit my 15 year career as a lawyer in Washington, DC. Now, I'm living a life of a mountain nomad as I scout and guide clients in various mountain trails worldwide.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life now as tomorrow is never promised.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get the full nomad experience learning about others who are like-minded, have a passion for freedom and traveling. There's so much diversity of experiences to be had with people we meet and given that I'm now running my own enterprise, I plan to live my life in the moment and via meeting as many people on this journey of entrepreneurship and as a nomad.
