Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because there's no better way to make friends around the world and share the experience of travel than by staying with and hosting like-minded, cool-as-hell people from the various corners of our planet.

Interests

When I'm not teaching children how to talk about and discuss literature, I’m at the gym. When I’m not there, I’m traveling to new areas of our planet and discovering the connective thread of humanity that runs through us all. I love meeting new people, sharing stories, and making new ones.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Took a solo road trip Couchsurfing across the United States in the summer of 2015. Met amazing people and saw some incredible places I otherwise would never have been to.

Quit my job in the states and went to Japan for three months to tutor English after school. Then worked at a school in Prague for three months and a hostel in Cape Town for two.

Embarked on a world tour in February 2017 where I couchsurfed in 15 countries over the course of six months.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Laughter, stories, alcohol and other legal intoxicants, a smile, chocolate, fitness, photographs, artisinal water, card games, good company
