About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the country

ABOUT ME

I come from a small town next to the Mountains in Tennessee. I love Adventurous and just getting out there, where ever that may be.When it comes to travel, I don't want to see a place I visit, I want to experience it that best way I can. I want to see the heart and soul of a place, not the empty touristy shell that crusts the outside. In saying that, I love to meet people and to learn about different cultures and areas.I really just like to get out there and see the world, whether it is planned or spontaneous. I also enjoy to read and learn about history. When it come to reading fiction I love classical works, especially of the 19th Century. I like to explore places whether it be in a vast wilderness or an urban landscape. Whenever the days over I like to enjoy a good quality cup of tea or coffee even.

PHILOSOPHY

"I expect to pass through this world but once, any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now, let me not neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again." That is the best way to describe my personal philosophy, and that is a very special quote to me for a certain reason.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can't host right now, but I can hopefully contribute by being a good guest!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Amazing! I have just been hosted once but It could not have been a better experience.

Interests

I enjoy the outdoors, especially hiking and backpacking. Also kayaking when I get the chance. Besides that I am a photographer have had the chance to do all sorts of photography from major sports events and political events,to some of the most beautiful scenery in the country.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach anyone who is interested about photography! I can also teach about Tea (to an extent) and the mountains of Tennessee. I also can share about my current journey and travels or just the outdoors!
