About Me

I'm an agricultural Peace Corps Volunteer living in a village about 30 km outside of Chipata, Zambia. I'll soon be traveling after my close of service and hope to visit with other world travelers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel, meet new people, see new places, try new foods, and gain new experiences.

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime" -Mark Twain
