I enjoy all types of music, ranging from bluegrass folk to rap and hip-hop. My favorite bands include: The Beatles, Animal Collective, Fleet Foxes, Arcade Fire, Gorriallz, Adult Jazz, My Morning Jacket, Coldplay, Vetiver, The Shins, and the list goes on. I love films including works directed by Wes Anderson, Stanley Kubrick, Christopher Nolan, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Richard Linklater. My favorite author is John Steinbeck, with East of Eden being my muse.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have hiked the North Carolina , Tennessee, and Virginia segments of the Appalachian Trial and hope to complete the entire trail some day.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am from a small city in Tennessee, thus I have not experienced a richly diversified atmosphere. I would love to expand my horizon and gain insight in different cultures. I love my culture and I would also love to share valuable lessons that others might find strange or unique.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share an unique perspective on life. I am open to all ideas and customs. Nothing appeals to me more than gaining various attitudes and beliefs. I believe you can't establish a since of self-belief until all aspects are experienced and accounted.
