I am a student of Life, always seeking new ways to grow as a person. I’m a singer, writer, athlete, philosopher, explorer, and Friend. I love traveling and connecting with new people, sharing experiences, learning about different cultures, and going on spontaneous wild adventures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I recently left my business of 10 years which did not offer much of any vacation with the intention of making up for lost time by setting out to visit as many different places and make as many new friends as possible.
