CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world

ABOUT ME

I am a laid back guy who happens to work a stressful job that requires me to travel every week (130 nights in a hotel last year!). This nomadic lifestyle suits me well because I love to travel and typically spend weekends visiting friends and family all over the US. I will be attending the Ross School of Business (U of Michigan) this fall and decided to spend my summer working in South Africa and Australia. I have traveled to more countries than US states and love immersing myself in new and different cultures. I am also passionate about international development and currently advise the CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters International.

PHILOSOPHY

Work hard, play harder

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This summer I will be living in a corporate apartment in Cape Town in May/June and Sydney in June/July. While I don't need a couch to sleep on, I would like to meet interesting people in South Africa and Australia. I am willing to open up my couches to anyone who needs a place to stay. I will be staying at the Century City Apartments while in Cape Town. Not sure where I'll be staying in Sydney, but I have my fingers crossed!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to CS and haven't yet had any experiences.

教，学，和分享

I have learned a great deal from everyone I have met throughout my travels. In addition to being fascinated by new and different cultures, experiencing other cultures has provided an additional lens for self reflection, which has shaped who I am today.
