About Me

"I wanted to have some impact to change the world but lately I've been hearing that the true impact is connecting the world. I sold everything. All of my possessions fit into two suitcases. Legitimately four pairs of jeans, five shirts, four pairs of socks, a pair of tennis shoes, and a dream."

I worked in Washington, D.C. for the United States House of Representatives as an event coordinator for a congressional delegate. Then, I decided to follow my dreams and founded “I TALK TO STRANGERS”, a social movement whose philosophy encourages and challenges individuals to create genuine relationships through meeting new people.
Since founding this movement, I have traveled the world meeting strangers while documenting my journey through a soon-to-be-released documentary and book, along with participating in numerous speaking engagements around the world encouraging everyone I meet to TALK TO STRANGERS.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My motive is to push an idea that meeting new people increases personal and professional opportunities, experiences and lessons learned.
