I love meeting interesting people and hearing their stories. I fundamentally believe independent traveling exposes you to experiences that will change you as a person and makes better global citizens.

I've lived in every time zone of mainland USA but my true passion is traveling internationally. I love immersing myself in different cultures and listening to others about the places they've been to or things they've experienced. I find it inspirational for the next adventures I want to pursue.

Keeping an open mind, and maintaining respectfulness is something I strive for myself and look for in others. Continually improving myself in all aspects of my life is an ongoing pursuit in addition to living life to the fullest.

That brings me to the present day.... I'm starting my MBA in Charlotte, NC and will be making almost weekly commutes from Richmond, VA to Charlotte, NC. I'm looking for a place to stay on Friday night in Charlotte so I can attend school on Saturday.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find the Couchsurfing community incredibly inspiring. I want to meet people who go out there to experience life and "what's out there", and find ways to give back in their own way.

Starting Jan 2024, I'll be driving down from Richmond, VA on Friday nights to attend Saturday classes for my MBA degree. I'm looking for hosts that are willing to give me a place to stay for a night on a Friday in Charlotte so I can attend school on Saturdays.

Although my stays in Charlotte will be short, I would love to learn more about you and the things you've experienced while Couchsurfing or hosting!

Interests

I am an adventure traveler. I love to give anything a try, even if it scares the crap out of me (even bungee jumping!).

I also love living an active lifestyle. I currently am into rock climbing, but other past hobbies I got heavily involved in include: Muay Thai kickboxing, Skiing, Snowboarding, Mountain climbing, Crew/rowing, Dance
