I traveled around the world for 17 months in 2011-2013. I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area from 2013-2017. I was a digital nomad from 2017-2018, and have finally found home in Philadelphia since 2018.

Making sure my life is adventurous, interesting and lived fully each day. Perpetually seeking personal growth. Community, Art and Activism are incredibly valuable to me.

You only get one chance and all you get at the end are memories - make them awesome, have great stories and great friends. Live simple, learn constantly, stretch your limits and live life! I believe our purpose here is to take our natural talents/skills and apply them to improving the world in whatever field we are passionate about.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Not currently hosting, but love to meet people from all over the world. Let's have a local city adventure or just a coffee together!

I have hosted 25 or so people, surfed many times during my travels in South America and Europe and been to many meetups. I just LOVE CS for how it never fails to bring interesting people together in a spirit of openness. Whether you host, surf or go to meetups - it is a great way to meet people at home and also abroad.

Hosting for two years in Georgia was such a rewarding experience and kept my travel bug fed. I also hosted in San Francisco for a while.

As a surfer, I am amazed by how many wonderful, generous people I've met.
