About me:
I am a 29 year old male who sold everything to travel the world.

I grew up in upper-middle class suburbia on a cul de sac by two loving/amazing parents. My dad is from Zimbabwe. My mom is from St. Louis, MO. I can tell you a classic romantic story of how they met. I have two younger sisters (24 and 22).

I went to Archbishop Moeller high school (D1 All Male) playing 3 sports: American Football, Rugby, and Wrestling.

I went to a D3 Liberal Arts school: Wittenberg University. I majored in Marketing and minored in Sociology. I also played American football there while pursuing my studies.

After school I worked at Speedway LLC (gas station company) as a marketing analyst in the Beer and Wine department for 4 years.

I was very good at my job. I really tried to fit into the corporate/cubicle life world. But I felt a giant void growing inside me. I decided I’m not spending my 20s stuck in a cube doing something I hate thinking “what if”.

I sold everything in November 2017. I put the rest of my belongings in my car and moved to Miami, FL December 7th, 2017 to live with a friend from high school.

I was a boxing/kickboxing instructor, modeled, and did stand up comedy for the first time. In March 2018 the boxing gym closed down. I decided to WWOOF (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms) in America.

In April 2018 I moved to Berthoud, Colorado to be on a raw dairy and hemp farm ➡️ Murphys, California on a vineyard/winery/fruit-vegetable farm ➡️ Big Island of Hawaii on a fully sustainable eco-boutique resort ➡️ New Zealand ➡️ Australia ➡️ Bali ➡️ Singapore ➡️ Malaysia ➡️ Thailand ➡️ Vietnam ➡️ Japan ➡️ South Korea ➡️ Turkey ➡️ Ireland ➡️ Norway ➡️ Sweden ➡️ Denmark ➡️ Netherlands ➡️ Czech Republic ➡️ Germany ➡️ USA

I'm still trying to find my niche in life. But I'm young, single, no kids (that I'm aware of), no debt, no pets, or any obligations to keep me settled in one place.

Wowzer-That was a lot! If you read it all, I appreciate you taking the time to do so ☺️

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I was a boxing and kickboxing instructor at Title Boxing for two years.
I can teach you how to properly punch, kick, and defend yourself.

I have a passion for exercise and nutrition. I can share my knowledge of that and help develop a workout plan if you'd like.

With the 1,000+ hours of podcasts/audio books I've listened to, I can do my best to give insight on a wide area of interesting topics and ideas.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I love comedy and doing stand up comedy open mic nights.
I like to joke around, make people laugh, and just be a silly goose.
If I'm not laughing or learning, I don't want to be apart of it.

I know A LOT about UFC/MMA.

I also listen to a lot of podcasts: Joe Rogan, The Fighter and the Kid, Revisionist History, Bertcast, Bill Burrs Monday Morning Podcasts.

I enjoy talking about anything and everything. No subject is taboo.

I'm also excellent at finding cool/interesting/unique things to do in every city. I like finding things I can ONLY get there and no where else.
