I was raised by an unwavering conservative and a Californian free spirit. I've taken inspiration and wisdom from both. I love discovering new places and people and right now I have the opportunity to do that through travel. Nature and urban exploration both intrigue me, and I am constantly reminded of how little I've learned about our world so far..

It's time to get some stories to tell my children someday.

I have fairly limited references at the moment, so feel free to check out my airbnb reference page for some more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently married the girl of my dreams and am adventuring through life with her now.

Teach, Learn, Share

Please ask if you have any questions about me, I'm happy to start a conversation with you, and hopefully continue it when I meet you in person!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I suppose this question is similar to the interview question, "Why are you a good fit for this position?"

I can teach English to some extent if my hosts are interested. I also can teach lindy hop swing dancing if I come across some excited folks. I also know a bit of ukulele if anyone is interested in a sing-along.

Other than these, I think everyone on this site is interested in sharing stories, experiences, and profound communication with other humans.

Countries I’ve Visited

Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Ireland, Japan, Peru, South Korea
