CURRENT MISSION

To hear and make as many stories as possible on my adventure

ABOUT ME

I spent 11 of the first 14 years of my life traveling with my family around the state parks of Alaska. I then moved to Texas and ended up going to college in Waco, Texas. I have always enjoyed school and will start soon as an analyst for a banking group. While this job fascinates me I have always been interested in the educational system here in America. But first things first... I need to travel!

PHILOSOPHY

Still a Work In Progress... and I plan to be that way for a while.

I was a journalist for a brief stint because I believe that every story matters (I still hold the belief, but not the title).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am in Houston for a while looking to host, but should have some trips coming up to be hosted

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All I have so far is some people reaching out with helpful travel hints. Hopefully I will have some stories to relay in a month...

Interests

Any thing that is outside is worth the time, sports are awesome to play and fun to watch, and beer and funnel cakes are delicious.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While growing up in Alaska for 11 years, I was fishing on the Kenai River and had full grown grizzly come down the riverbank towards the group I was with. Everyone stood frozen except for one of the 10 year-old kids there who stood up and yelled. The bear turned and ran.

I also had the chance to see the other side of being awestruck. I worked for a summer in orphanages in Guatemala. The experience serving those heartbroken kids left me speechless.

Teach, Learn, Share

Language Skills - nada (except english and a little spanish)
Musical Talents - none
Weird Magic Tricks - nope
However I have a few good stories, a couple good jokes, and hours worth of conversation (or debate if you prefer).
Oh, and I just learned how to derive the Black Scholes Merton pricing model, so...

As far as learning, I want to hear any history or stories out there
