ABOUT ME

Many years ago I started as a CS host in North Carolina. In 2009 I moved to South Korea and worked there for 2 years. I wasn't ready to come back to the use when I finished so I backpacked around Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Laos. It was so awesome!

So I moved to Vietnam for a year. After Vietnam I move back to the USA, then to Saudi Arabia to continue teaching. Whew, this is a long story. Then I moved to Thailand for 6 months and now I am back in Saudi.

No one comes to Saudi, so I never get a chance to host these days. Plus there is nothing much to do here. When I get a chance, I love to travel and meet new people.

PHILOSOPHY

Be a participant, not a fan.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Host when I can. Surf when I can. Work hard, party harder, and always offer much respect.

If you do manage to end up in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, I have a couch for you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My first trip to Cambodia opened my eyes to the excesses of western life. I have never been so thankful for the luck of the location of my birth.
