I love traveling when I can and have really been enjoying hosting as a form of reverse traveling to meet people on their own incredible trips. In 2016 I met a girl and we quit our jobs to road trip across the US for over a year. In 2018 I took a 4 month leave of absence from my new job to back pack Europe solo, visiting 13 countries. Have been getting in one to two week trips while living the corporate America life, but Iโm feeling the itch for extended travel again. Peru/Chile/Colombia - May 2024 ๐ต๐ช ๐จ๐ฑ ๐จ๐ด Ireland - September 2024 ๐ฎ๐ช Costa Rica - April 2025 ๐จ๐ท Madeira Portugal - October 2025 ๐ต๐น Next up Norway to see the Northern Lights in February 2026! ๐ณ๐ด Not sure whatโs next, but I would like to hit all the continents in a round-the-world trip at some point. Itโs just a matter of when :)

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Started Couchsurfing during our road trip because we met someone in a brewery who recommended it. Thought it was weird at first, but after a few times started to love it and now have many great stories and friends as a result. Itโs not a real trip without a little couchsurfing!
One Amazing Thing I've Done
A Great American Road Trip. We sampled over 100 craft breweries in the US, Canada, and Mexico. Camped and hiked over 30 National Parks. Worked at hostels in St. Maarten and Denver. Took an impromptu trip to Cuba. Mardi Gras in New Orleans. SXSW in Austin and farmed a vineyard in Texas wine country. Worked at a big music festival in California and saw one of Tom Pettyโs last performances. Volunteered at the High Times Cannabis Cup and met so many cool people Couchsurfing along the way!
