About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To ride bikes and make positive changes in my community.

ABOUT ME

Our house is a great place to eat, relax, hang out, and have fun! I enjoy hosting and having people visit us. I recently moved to Atlanta, but am learning about the fun local places to go and see. I love biking - and try to bike around and explore the city as much as possible in the little free time I have in school - and try and squeeze in as much bike polo as possible!

PHILOSOPHY

Kinda cheesy, but I have 3 quotes that when combined I feel best embodies my personal philosophy of life.

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead

"When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world." - John Muir

"Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men's blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will never die, but long after we are gone will be a living thing, asserting itself with ever growing insistency. Remember that our sons and grandsons are going to do things that would stagger us. Let your watchword be order and your beacon beauty. Think big." - Daniel Burnham

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As a host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couch surfed with friends, and have had amazing experiences meeting new people while traveling. We look forward to opening our home to y'all and have the possibility to show you the best Jackson has to offer.

Interests

I really enjoy riding bikes and playing bike polo in my free time. I'm very interested in urban planning - and am focusing my studies on sustainability in cities particularly in our modes of transportation. I enjoy hanging out with friends, hiking, gardening and cooking delicious meals (particularly for potlucks with friends), working to make our community more bike friendly, and making (and attempting to make) art. I love music, and enjoy going to local shows on the weekends, and blues festivals whenever possible. I have a solid commitment to lifelong learning, and enjoy meeting and learning about new and interesting topics, people and places.
