About Me

CURRENT MISSION

In dental school now and hoping to help others in any way I can.

ABOUT ME

I love to travel and experience new things. It's a blessing to have hiked the whole 2200 mile Appalachian Trail, biked the 500 mile El Camino trail, and basicly lived out of my car for monthes as I backpack most of the National Parks. Livin and lovin life! I come from a big family and love southern hospitality. I've never met a stranger and love to help others in any way that I can. Generous, faith-filled, hard-working, honest, and a real go-getter best describe me. Have a sensational day!

PHILOSOPHY

Love to live life for the glory of God. He provides everything through the generous hearts of others. I am thankful, and love discussing philosophy or theology with others from a variety of backgrounds. Live it up... we only get to go through this life once... and don't forget to prepare for the everlasting life to come!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to couch hop and meet new people while I am able to travel. When I eventually settle down, I'd like to take people in and give them a hand too. What goes around, comes around!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been blessed to have God provide everything I need through people along the journey. I have slept in hundreds of places around the world and met some incredible people. On the A.T. to out west I have had many people invite me in to their homes with a giving spirit without me asking. It always seems to just happen... what a blessing!
