Overview
About Me
Hi there! I'm an active and outgoing college student from Raleigh, North Carolina in the United States who loves traveling, being outdoors, and meeting new people. I'm majoring in Psychology and Minoring in Outdoor Leadership. I enjoy getting to know people and places on more than just a superficial level and I have a very wide range of interests so I can talk on just about any subject with almost anyone for hours. I'm a bit of an adrenaline junkie, but I also value just sitting quietly in a pretty spot for an hour or two. I'm also an Eagle Scout with a Gold Palm and currently work at Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Love meeting new people and getting the local flavor for a place when traveling, so this seems like a great place to do both while saving money at the same time!

Music, Movies, and Books
I mostly listen to Classic Rock but I can enjoy just about any music type. I like many different types of books but some that I've read recently off the top of my head include Blood Done Signed My Name, Sometimes A Great Notion, Into the Wild, and Ender's Game. Some movies I've enjoyed are After the Dark, The A-Team, and The Prestige.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Ummmm, I've hung on one hand off of a 1000 foot drop over the edge of the Grand Canyon if that counts? Building houses in a small Nicaraguan fishing village over Spring Break my Freshman year was pretty amazing as well.
Teach, Learn, Share
I like to do all three of these things? Not super sure what this means...
What I Can Share with Hosts
Fun stories, lots of laughs, a couple strange skills, good conversation, and if you've got any manual labor chores you need to get done, I'm your guy! I'm also happy to cook for ya if you've got a well-stocked spice cabinet:)
