Former southerner/Nashvillian. Passionate about a variety of topics, friendly/chatty with just about everyone, adores dogs, loves food. Also, excellent at distinguishing between which dinosaurs in movies are real and which are fake. Super new to couchsurfing, so please pardon while I get everything up to par here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always find it rewarding to get to know people who are different from myself. It's interesting to see where people have lived, see what they like place their time and efforts in outside of work, what communities they're a part of, etc. I feel like food has huge potential to bring people together so I love cooking/eating together with others.

Interests

Cooking/eating lots of tasty food, indulging a mix of high brow/low brow conversations, nerding out about fancy cocktails. seeing live music/comedy, talking about books or film, etc etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently spend 90 minutes in a sensory deprivation tank and it was a really incredible experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

YES! I'm an evangelist for things I like, so you'll probably get to learn about cool new music, some cooking tricks or how to make a better cocktail at home if I'm around. I also love learning new things, so if you're passionate to share I'm down to learn.
