Currently traveling with my girlfriend, Sabrina.

I grew up in San Antonio, went to film school in Los Angeles, and have since lived in Dallas and Austin. I'm driven by my curiosity, particularly enjoy having fun and sharing a good laugh, and aim to live life a little differently. I also love trying new things and meeting new folks-- which brought me to Couchsurfing back in 2011. I traveled, hosted, and attended events actively until 2015, and have become more active with the community in 2022.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe Couchsurfing is an unfathomably engaging, educational, and fun way to explore the world, learn about humanity, and pay forward kindness to travelers in need.

Surfing:
I am all about being a respectful, clean, gracious, and fun guest. I appreciate a host who can devote a bit of time, however much, to hang out, show me around, or point me in the right direction-- but I understand if this isn't possible with work etc.

Hosting:
I am currently not hosting; however, I have hosted many times while living in Los Angeles, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio.

Events:
I used to host events in San Antonio, and have attended meet ups in Lisbon, Dublin, and elsewhere around the world. Always love meeting new people!
