I am a bit of a nomad and spent the first ten years living abroad as my father's job took us to the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Trinidad, and eventually to Washington DC where they settled down. After high school, I attended Arizona State University where I graduated with a useless degree in Political Science. I somehow ended up working in IT and am currently a Program Manager. Since I am a consultant, I tend to work 6-9 months and spend the rest of the time traveling.

I have dual citizenship the United States (father) and United Kingdom (mother).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To date, I have traveled to 46 countries. I have met amazing people and made so many good friends travelling the globe and wanted to open my house up to fellow travelers so they have a safe and comfortable place to stay on their travels through Arizona. I'm I'm just paying it forward to the fellow travelers of the world.

Interests

Travel, travel, travel. I am extremely spontaneous and don't believe in planning or having an agenda. I just do as I feel and let things play out naturally. I enjoy road trips, camping, hiking, and just chilling.
