About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meeting and hosting fun people!

ABOUT ME

I was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia but only spent a couple of months there. After that my family and I moved to several different places across the US before finally settling in Marietta, GA (suburb of Atlanta). Now I live in East Atlanta Village which is an incredible neighborhood in Atlanta just south of Little 5 points.

I went to school at UGA and graduated recently with my Masters in Accounting (i swear i'm a fun person!) and am currently doing the whole 'job' thing. My dream is to work long enough to buy a sailboat and then disappear into the sunset.

My current hobbies include hanging out w/ my dog zoey, making beer, and sailing. If you come stay w/ us we usually have some sort of beer on tap, maybe you'll be lucky enough to try one of ours!

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not a Buddhist, but this quote is a good way to live your life:

"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who has said it, not even if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense."
-Gautama Siddhartha, called the Buddha

And on a lighter note these two quotes from one of my favorite authors are also good ways to live your life:


"All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring."
-Chuck Palahniuk

"I just don't want to die without a few scars."
-Chuck Palahniuk

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting and surfing with csers and meeting up when I can!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Everyone I met so far through CS has been super great!

Interests

Being outdoors! I love camping, hiking, fishing, and just exploring nature. I also love my little dog Zoey and my friends and family. I'm also really enjoy curling up with a good book any time of the day.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like too many books and movies to begin listing them all! Some friends would describe me as a music snob...and I guess I am a bit. It just means that I don't typically listen to the top 40 type stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming with Sea Lions in Cabo Pulmo, Baja California. They are such inquisitive and amazing creatures! The 'Valley of the Flowers' in India was the most beautiful place I've ever been (close second is the Grand Canyon of course).
