In April of 2017, I left my job working for Under Armour corporate sustainability to pursue the next great adventure. In May of 2017, I will be leaving to take my motorcycle around the Americas to raise money for an environmental advocacy group that helps to preserve the natural resources that we have in the United States.

The trip will take me through 20,000 miles of North and Central America, and may take around 5 months!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am new to Couchsurfing, but the site has been highly recommended to me by a number of friends. Why stay in hotels when you could be meeting and experience the culture of the people who live in the city!
