Currently on a journey exploring all that life has to offer in my van. Road tripping with my dog in the Southern USA, Mexico, and Central America.

I'm a traveler at heart, thrill seeker, and adventure lover. I've been a Math Teacher for the past few years, and recently took a sabbatical to travel.

Since then, I have written and published a book, The Debt Free Teacher, along with an online course aimed at helping others with a limited income get out of debt.

I also do web design, consulting, SEO, and social media marketing so I can work from the road.

Bikes, music, vans, and the outdoors are my thing. If you want to share good times, give me a shout.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love CS because it's the best way to experience a new place. I prefer to spend my time with locals—hanging out, eating, drinking, and exploring their favorite things. Help me see the real parts of your city, not just the tourist traps.

Hosting allows me to share the true side of Nashville, not just the hot chicken and bars on Broadway. Nashville has much more to offer than what the travel blogs recommend.

Meeting amazing people from all over the world and forming genuine human connections.
