American in Riyadh after a few years in Tokyo and absolutely love it.

Please do not send me a friend request unless we have actually met. And sorry guys but I’m straight 😂 (and this is not a dating app!).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One thing I've learned from traveling is that it's always the people, never the place. As such, on here to meet interesting and friendly folks while bouncing around the blue dot. If you send me a message, please write Vision 2030 at the top so I know you read my profile.

Music, Movies, and Books

Listen to all kinds of stuff but have a weakness for 80s music / the 80s in general.

Movies? All the movies.

I mostly read nonfiction about nutrition, finance, or history, but every now and then I indulge in good fiction friends recommend.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once taught a class--for college credit!--on Batman.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't really know what this is asking or how it might be different from the next box but I know some pretty random things so just ask 😂

What I Can Share with Hosts

"I have approximate knowledge of many things."

From teaching how to make delicious cocktails to American idioms to simply helping out with cooking and cleaning, I'm happy to help my hosts however I can.
