About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

After hosting around 130 surfers and traveling to 20 somethings countries, I've started a nonprofit education program inspired by my travels and experiences. Check it out and share if you find this to be a worthy endeavor. Support from the Couch Surfing community goes a long way.

"Headlights or Tail lights, it's a flip of a coin.
I've been comin and going since the day I was born."

I'm in a constant tug of war, I dream of the road... I long for a home.

When I'm not traveling, I'm trying to capture that feeling by hosting. It's always nice seeing your city through new eyes.

I'm a songwriter and I love my family.

I like to think I'm a fun host.

I am not a good dancer but I can't seem to take off my boogie shoes.

PHILOSOPHY

Care how others feel... not what they think.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Discovered the power of pop music while singing along to Gotye with a cab driver in Morocco.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a lot of experience traveling and I enjoy sharing my stories and advice with anyone who is curious. I can also provide some guitar lessons.

I really want to re learn Spanish. I was able to use it fairly well in Mexico but then I traveled to 20 other countries and it was lost in a mess of the immediacy of other languages and hand-gestured directions.

Canada, China, Costa Rica, Croatia, Ghana, Greece, Honduras, India, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mauritius, Mexico, Morocco, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Turkey, United States, Viet Nam
