ABOUT ME:

I'm Charlie, I grew up in Georgia and moved to Tennessee 7 years ago to work in the music industry. I've been a couchsurfing member for about 5 of those years and loved every bit of it. I recently returned to Nashville after spending the last half of 2015 living at a meditation center in South Tennessee called "The Isha Center". Since then meditation & Yoga has remained the center of my life.

Right now I'm in-between adventures, working a 9 to 5 and dreaming about my next big journey. While I'm stable and in a place to give, I give as much as I can, and when I'm traveling I graciously receive from others.

Please include the word "Blue" in the couch request so I know you took the time to read the profile. And If you stay with me please don't forget to write a reference.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed all across the country, Hosted many travelors.

Nothing is as much of a thrill as surfing/hosting. I've met the best people in the world this way.
