ABOUT ME

I have many passions. I'm the type of person that will pick a destination and go with little money in my pocket. I grew up in Mississippi and left home when I was 19 to move somewhere new. I moved to Florida for a few years working for a snowboard company. I transferred stores and moved to their Los Angeles location in the heart of Hollywood. I got to experience much of the Hollywood lifestyle as well as met heaps of celebrities, even though it wasn't my cup of tea. I then worked for a surfboard brand handling their online sales and got to experience much of what the surf industry had to offer. After living in California for three years, I lived in Australia for a year. The past three months, I've been living in Sri Lanka working for a surf/yoga retreat. I'm currently in Europe for the summer months. Where to next? Who knows. I'm addicted to traveling and everything that comes with it. The people you meet, the cultures you experience, and the feelings you get every time you explore a new country. My opinions and personality have definitely been molded by every single person that has come into my life from around the world. We can always learn something new from another person.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

My goal is to help out as many travelers as I can. It's always the worst when traveling and having to spend excessive amounts of money where you don't need to. Another reason I'm on here is to meet people from around the world & make a new friend(s). Learning about another culture is super fascinating to me and gets me stoked.

Músicas, Filmes e Livros

I really appreciate all types of music and am not too picky. I also enjoy playing music. I grew up playing guitar, so am always keen to play with other people.

Books:

The Power of Now - Eckhart Tolle
A New Earth - Eckhart Tolle
True Meditation - Adyashanti
Siddhartha - Hermann Hesse

I try not to watch much TV or movies, but I do have a few that I enjoy watching. My roommates are movie addicts so if you are, you'll be stoked. This list is pretty disappointing but there's definitely more I can't think of at the moment:

Django unchained
Interstellar
Lords of Dogtown
