About Me

I enjoy seeing life through the perspective of the people I meet. Studying new cultures and customs then adopting them into my life. I find treasure every day in the friends I make and the ideas we share. I enjoy heading out by myself into the unknown and like any good adventure I always seem to get into a few unexpected situations along the way. I'm very communicative and respectful. I try to get along with everyone, but I especially admire others that hold those traits. I might not be able to spend a lot of time hanging out, but I do my best to match my host's level of enthusiasm.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing forces us to have real firsthand encounters with the world and see it the way it really is – not the way we imagine it. I also enjoy getting to know people and what better way to do that than being hosted by people living in the place I'm exploring?

I host when I can and I’m always happy to show people around. I love the human experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing is subjective.
Darien Gap, Northern Colombia, an unmarked trail miles from nowhere: A shirtless local jumps out of the jungle, sprinting at me with a machete.... stops three feet from my face, panting, rusty machete in one hand and a freshly cut coconut extended in the other, a toothless cheshire-cat grin from ear to ear.

Teach, Learn, Share
