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 about the world, I enjoy visiting that world. I love traveling to new areas of the world and discovering new things about places I've already been. I work out regularly and engage in healthy activities: bicycling, running, scavenger hunts, etc.

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.

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