I am a certified travel addict. I can be fresh off of a vacation and still have that insatiable itch! My top goal in life is to attain "endless travel." I love to learn about and share culture - especially through food.

I have a very easy going vibe, and I'm unequivocally accepting of all walks of life. It is our differences that makes this blue dot in the cosmos so interesting. I love to share what has made me the man I am, and I am eager to learn how you became you.

I have been to many places in the world, and I have many more to go. I travel with buddies sometimes, but my favorite way to go is solo-dolo. This style of travel helps me to make new friends around the globe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel and meeting people from foreign cultures is what will save this world. I am driven to sculpt my life such that my travel never ends. Hotels are great, but immersion with locals is the best.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a life-hacker focused on staying present. I can teach you strategies to live purely in the moment - NOW.
