Overview
About Me
I currently work as the Director of Recruitment for a film school in NYC, where I support my travel addiction, and spend my time traveling the world to help talented artists achieve their dreams. I spend every spare minute of my "free time" exploring the world and sharing my experiences through photography and writing.
Born and raised in the U.S. in South Carolina, I moved across the country to Arizona, and then drove a bright yellow VW bug all the way back across the country to follow my dreams to my current home in New York City.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I particularly remember this moment solo-backpacking in Thailand where I was laying on the front of a boat with no guard rails and no ropes, just floating through the Gulf of Thailand. It was the point in my first solo backpacking trip that I realized I could do anything my traveling heart set its mind to. And I haven't stopped since.
What I Can Share with Hosts
