I'm a tour guide and I run camping road trips all across the United States, which is my dream job. This summer I drove 25,000 miles, traveled to 22 states, explored 13 major cities, visited 9 national parks, and spent almost every night sleeping under the stars. The work is seasonal, which leaves me plenty of time to travel on my own.
My whole life has revolved around traveling: I lived in Alaska until I was 10 years old, then I moved onto a sailboat with my family and traveled throughout the Caribbean and South America. Since then I've traveled to east Africa to do humanitarian work, and I also lived in Spain as an English teacher.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting other travelers and it's a great way to experience a country from a local perspective.
