About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to see things because they're there

ABOUT ME

Mid 20's, enthusiastic about cities and the outdoors, loves hip hop and live music, interesting people, good drinks and good food, and exploring as much as possible. I typically stay in hostels, but staying with locals is so much more fun!

PHILOSOPHY

An old man who runs a dairy farm once told me: "when you're up to your ass in alligators you forget the whole reason was to drain the swamp"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

New to the community but I'd like to help keep it cool and safe

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

What comes to mind:

The time we ended up in a remote town in central Colombia and stayed with a long-term British expat and Lambretta enthusiast living in a semi-abandoned inn.

Or the time I got Malaria in a small town in Uganda, and stayed in a tiny run-down hotel.

Or sleeping outside on a balcony 35 floors up in a New York City penthouse.
