Wandering through our world making friends of strangers and homes of strange lands. Becoming aware has colors shine stronger, scents sing brighter, and sounds more beautiful. I won’t soon forget you and you won’t meet another me; say hello, for it is all a part of the human adventure.

I am traveling to all 50 states within 2016. It seems to me, we are in a pivotal moment in history. Communities, technology, and individuals are forever changing within the briefest of snapshots. It is my intention to not miss this; it is my aim to capture the spirit of a people.

I love reading, running, cooking(eating), conversing, traveling, working, and listening to music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is one of the rare gems where one can wander to discover new places, trade stories, and soak up everything the world has to offer.

I want to meet other travelers, others who might share some insight into their part of the world.

Ideas, stories, and worthwhile conversation. I've started a few small internet companies and continue to run one while traveling - I mean to say, we can dream and still be down to earth.
