About Me

CURRENT MISSION

...empower others to help themselves.

ABOUT ME

Travel has transformed me. It has repeatedly shown me that, despite it all, there remains a positive constant that runs through humanity. I love finding and exploring new places, but my passion lies in helping others along the way.

I always need a good excuse to drop what I am doing and revel in the moment. So... If you are doing something random/enjoyable, hit me up. I might just join you.

PHILOSOPHY

Make every journey an adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Host in Austin.
Surf everywhere else.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was couch surfing long before I knew what couch surfing was. I'm a bit of a wanderer.

I host when I can. Hammock or couch?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Six day solo hike through virgin rainforest.
...during the rainy season.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach me. I am always open to learning new and interesting things.

Learn from me. I have a knack for finding solutions to seemingly difficult problems. All you have to do is ask. That, and I am pretty good at tying knots.
