CURRENT MISSION

to push my boundaries and try to grow as a person

ABOUT ME

I'm a recent graduate who is working as a software engineer. I really want to spend a large portion of my life traveling. I love new experiences more than anything. When I was little, I decided I wanted to collect something for a hobby. After a lot of thinking, I decided that I was going to be unique and instead of collecting something boring and tangible, I would collect experiences. I think it sounds a little corny now, but I still have that mindset. I live for adventure and to try new things.

PHILOSOPHY

I love the quote: The world begins where your comfort zone ends

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have only surfed so far, but plan on returning the favor once I get settled down.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been to a couple of meetups in my home town of Birmingham. I'm still relatively young and haven't had the opportunity to do much traveling, but I hope to change that very soon.

I couchsurfed when I did my mini-trip to Chicago last year, and stayed with a really great guy up there named Harry!

Interests

I am such a fan of space and all things space-related. I have a telescope and looking at the planets and stars is one of my favorite things to do. I really love to cook as well. I'm always cooking up something new.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In college, I was president and founder of The Procrastinator's Club. I've also been sky diving!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make my signature marbled pumpkin cheesecake. It has toasted pecans and honey in the crust. I also know how to juggle.

I would love to learn more violin! I just started playing last year.
