Overview
About Me
Currently accepting travelers!
I'm a global citizen and a lifetime wanderer. I've seen and experience some incredible things and met some amazing people and I hope this trend keeps going. I'm on track to reach over 55 countries in the next two years. When I'm not traveling I like to meet travelers just passing by Raleigh, North Carolina and share with them my small part of the world. I'm free on weekends typically to show people around Raleigh and surrounding areas.

2016
I visited Seattle, Vancouver, Victoria to visit a dear friend of mine during the spring, moved back to the East Coast from Los Angeles, traveled to Denmark for Thanksgiving week and starting on the 22nd of December I'll revisit Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Guatemala, and Belize!
In 2014-2015,
I've visited 27 countries before I turn 27! 27 countries in a year! I broke my lease and sold half my stuff and spent 9 months being a worldly vagabond--a manbun wearing fauxhemian. In April of 2014 as I turned 26 I started my gap year by doing a road trip across the US and Canada and then flying to South America where I visited Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay and Europe for a few months where I finish my trip in Turkey! I've had an amazing time and have seen and done so much! Greece was my 27th, as part of my trip, after visiting Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Poland, Czech Rep., Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, Bosnia i Herz., Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, and Turkey!
I spent September 2015 traveling to gorgeous Iceland, Denmark, Netherlands and Belgium! Iceland was new and incredible! I will be back as soon as I can!
Before 2014,
I traveled extensively throughout most of Western Europe, west coast of South America, Latin America, and all three countries in North America. As far as 2013 is concerned I took a 3 week holiday in Spain, road tripped DC, flew to LA for two weeks, road tripped to San Francisco for a week, and road tripped to NYC, Boston, RI, NH, Vermont, Montreal and a little bit of Ottawa. Not including the once a month I head somewhere in North Carolina (Charlotte, Asheville,OBX, Wilmington, etc). So yeah, I can't stand still for the most part.
Now I'm living in Raleigh, NC to build up a career and save up for another journey but I think I will get a dog and call this place home for now.
