About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME
Back in the US after living abroad for most of the past 12 years. South Korea 4 years, Australia 7 and lots of bouncing around in between. Love meeting fellow travelers sharing stories and experiences. Human connection is what I live for and experiencing different cultures is my favorite way to do so.

Also coffee. I’m a coffee connoisseur and an unabashed snob. I was spoiled living in Australia for so long 🤷🏻‍♂️

PHILOSOPHY

Trust your instincts.
Fortune favours the bold.
Self discovery through challenge and adversity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I surf, I’m open to hosting now that I have a home and I attend the bi-weekly OKC couchsurfing meetup.
