Born in 1991 in the middle of winter in the mountains of western Maryland. During high school I moved to rural eastern NC. Studied graphic design in college in Raleigh. In 2015, I moved to St. Petersburg and now I decided to go the "cookworks" route and became a cook at a dude (vacation) horse ranch. This summer season is ending so now I'm prepping to move to Arizona as a cook in the lodges of the Grand Canyon. I'm really into art (movies, music, food, design, architecture). I'm an only child so I'm more of a private and independent person. I'm a thinker, rather than a talker. Hardly ever serious- except when I need to be of course.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet as many different people as possible. You're a mixture of every person you've talked to. I want to always be changing and growing! I've had really neat experiences in the past with this site, and I'm ready for more.

Interests

I grew up right off the Appalachian trail in Maryland. Last year my father and I hiked a third of the Maryland section. We love riding our bikes on the C.O. Canal into Harpers Ferry, WV.

Teach, Learn, Share

Want to know that meaning of life? I believe there is none, just be. Experience everything you can into this short life. My goal is to be here in the moment and try to feel without thinking in words,
