I Graduated C'15 from the University of the South: Sewanee, double majoring in anthropology and Russian language studies.
I live at home with my mom and help care for my younger siblings. I am a middle child in a big family. I grew up spending a lot of my time at the grandparents cattle farm in North Georgia, but have also spent a considerable number of my growing up years in Middle Tennessee.
I work part time in a restaurant and I am working on launching my own business in women's clothing.
My most recent travels have included a 6 week road trip in the Western U.S.
I am a pescetarian but am used to accommodating myself (I did grow up on a beef farm). I am, on some occasions, willing to try meat.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel to new places. Staying with a local offers a better feel for a city or town, than staying in a hotel. I like to understand places from the inside out, which means meeting up with the people who live there right off the bat.
Someday I hope to host as well, but right now I am not in a position to do so.
