I currently live in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA. I enjoy travel, cooking, live music, history, architecture, art, local experience.

I don't drink often but will enjoy on occasion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I think this is a far superior method of getting to know what each city/destination has to offer as opposed to trying to figure it out myself.

Interests

I'm interested in getting off the beaten path, sampling local food, listening to live music, doing a bunch of walking.

Music, Movies, and Books

My taste in music is extremely varied, ranging from oldies and soul to house to country.

I'm more of a TV show over movies kind of guy. Game of Thrones, Friday Night Lights, Prison Break, Archer, and Sons of Anarchy are some of my favorites.

Kingkiller Chronicles and Stormlight Archives for great fantasy series'.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my most memorable experiences happened over the course of a day in Maui, Hawaii. It began paddling out into a bay on a traditional kayak where we were able to get within 100 feet of the whales that were traveling through. Some midday surfing and lunch including the freshest fish I've ever tasted followed. And we finished the day off at the top of Mount Haleakala (above the clouds), where we actually got to watch the sunset over the clouds!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach and tell you about some of the northeast of America as well as part of Quebec, CA. I can teach you about rugby as I have played for the past 10 years. I'd really like to learn about some of the best places to eat where you're from as well as some of the most exotic things you've ever tried. Additionally, if you've ever road tripped across the country I would be really interested to hear about your experiences.
