A helicopter ride over Mount Everest in Nepal was equal parts breathtaking and humbling. Nothing makes you rethink your place in the world quite like hovering above the highest point on Earth.

Teach: I can teach you how to crush a karaoke duet, swap a few travel hacks, or tell you what life’s like in the North Georgia mountains. I’ve also restored my farmhouse so I’m pretty handy!!! Learn: I’m up for learning anything—new recipes, a few words in your language, or just how you see the world. Share: Stories, laughter, street food, good cocktails, and probably a cat or two if one shows up.

I can share good company, easy laughter, and plenty of stories from the road. I’m both a good storyteller and a great listener—I love swapping experiences and hearing how others see the world. If you’re up for it, I’ll happily sing a karaoke song or two (duets encouraged). I enjoy sharing meals, whether that’s helping cook, grabbing street food, or just splitting whatever’s around. Mostly, I try to bring a sense of presence and appreciation for the small moments.

I love spending time in museums and finding little corners of a city that most people skip over. At night, I’m usually looking for a fun themed cocktail bar, some good music, dancing or karaoke. I also like connecting with the local gay community wherever I go—it’s always led to some of my best nights out and most meaningful friendships. Mostly, I just enjoy when travel feels a little unscripted, with room for surprises.
