CURRENT MISSION

Step foot on every continent before I am fifty.

ABOUT ME

I am a big hearted vegetarian who is generally a friend to the underdog. Grew up in Arkansas and left as soon as I could, buying a series of one way tickets to far off lands. I love traveling and swapping stories and memories with the people I meet along the way.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't let temporary discomfort rob you of the experience of a lifetime.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

To give and receive trust is a beautiful thing.

Interests

Everything. I love new experiences. I enjoy hang gliding, skydiving, rappelling, canyoning, hiking, kayaking, acroyoga, and reading on the beach for hours.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am not a huge fan of staring at screens for leisure because I do it so much for work, but I can get into watching documentaries sometimes. I LOVE travel memoirs and creatively written nonfiction. Half The Sky, Little Princess, Little Daughter, Sex Lives of Cannibals (And anything else by Maarten Troost) are a few of my favorites. The music I listen to changes with my mood and with what activities I am involved in. Right now I am listening to a lot of Xx, Ray Lamontagne, and others like them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Pretty high on my list right now is skydiving. I really doubt there has been anyone who has done it and survived that didn't love it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am not sure what I can teach you that you would want to learn, but I could probably wow you, or shock you at least with my incredible dog barking skills.
