About Me

ABOUT ME

Hopping around wherever work takes me which so far has landed me in 7 different places in 8 years. At peace with, and in a way, most comfortable with transience.

Traveling was originally a side effect of relocation but now has become a primary goal of seeing and doing as much as possible before I have to call somewhere "home".

I enjoy planning things just to watch how life and the world always throws you into an unexpected turn. For better or worse, its always an experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I joined couch surfing several years ago when in college in Cincinnati. No one visits Cincinnati so I never hosted anyone. After traveling with my cousin, who is a longtime surfer, through Turkey over new years 2012 and staying with some amazing people I've decided to start hosting at my apartment in Copenhagen. After hosting tons a great people and surfing some more in Morocco and Spain I will now try hosting in the States again, this time in Dallas.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had such great experiences with amazing people. People that I've kept in touch with despite only hanging out for as little as a few hours. I can't imagine a more fulfilling way to see the world, meet new people, and understand a new place or culture.

Interests

Cycling, rock climbing, traveling, architecture, design, visiting hard-to-reach, noteworthy buildings.
