CURRENT MISSION

I am beginning my international travels and would love to get to know other cultures on a more personal level.

ABOUT ME

I attended school at the University of Texas at Austin for both degrees. I have taught in public schools, performed all around the country, but I felt like I had a bigger calling. I dropped what I knew to be familiar and became and engineer. My current job allows me to do more traveling!

PHILOSOPHY

I'm here to enjoy life. Life is precious, and my goal is to make the most of the one life I have on this earth.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to host travelers that visit Austin and show them the best parts of the city! I plan on surfing myself on my upcoming trips.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a few people so far and have nothing but good things to say about the experiences. Everyone I have met so far has such an interesting story to tell!

Interests

Hiking, being on the lake, running, dancing, live music, dining, and I'm always looking for new adventures.

Music, Movies, and Books

Pretty much all music with a special affinity to classical since I grew up with it. I try to find something I enjoy in any type of music and movie for that matter.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On my most recent trip to Geneva, I had a day where I didn't have much planned. I found out about a segway tour and decided to go for it. After a brief introduction on how to drive the thing, the tour guide and I rode all around the city. We stopped by the international organization buildings and around Lake Geneva. It was a gorgeous, perfect day.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to live and teach by example. If people learn something from me by hearing my life story, then I feel like my life will have more meaning. I really want to learn from different cultures from what their thoughts about the world are to what's their favorite dish to make.
