I am Appalachian born and raised. It is a beautiful, albeit misunderstood, region. I left for a while to go to college in NYC. After graduation I took a year off and backpacked Europe and taught English in Peru. I was hosted many times and met so many wonderful people. Now I'm home again. I wish to be part of the positive and progressive change in West Virginia. And I’m excited to be on the other side of the couch for once!

The man you see is my partner, Eric. Another old, Appalachian soul. A true mountain man with an affinity for outdoor adventuring ☺️

The pup you see is Trinity. I brought her back from Peru. She is really sweet and will certainly vie for your attention! 💜

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was hosted countless times (more than my profile shows) across Europe and now I want to host and pay back the good karma :)
