Traveler. Dancer. Writer. Engineer. Conversationalist. Co-adventurer.

My mission in my work and my life is the show people what's possible when we co-create a world full of abundance, connection, and co-adventure.

I love intimate conversations. I play a game where I go into deep life conversations with Lyft / Uber drivers. I've exchanged life dreams, been serenaded and kissed on the cheek, and cried with strangers I meet on rides.

I love to travel and went to a different country every month this year. My dream is to make friends all over the world and create a sense of home wherever I go.

I discovered ecstatic dance last year and since then dance has become an important part of my life and my life has increasingly become a dance. Life's really about co-adventuring: co-creating magic and adventure with the people around me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of my dreams is to make friends all over the world and to create a sense of home wherever I go. I'm actually not too big on doing touristy things when I travel. But I love exploring nature, I love making new friends and sharing day-to-day life with them, and I love exchanging life stories and learning from each other. Some of my favorite moments on trips come from being invited into the homes of new people I meet to share meals and to share our perspectives in life.

I started doing some travel writing that blends together stories of the people I meet with narratives from my own life — and it's become increasingly clear that every trip for me is a journey in personal growth.

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I self-published my own book!

Teach, Learn, Share

I started a company last year where I teach engineers to step into their leadership. I run workshops on how to discover what's important to the people around you, how to design your relationships, and how to clear up the stories we make up about each other that often get in the way.
