I am from Vermont originally, and lived in Guatemala for 3 years when I was a kid. I moved to Asheville in 2010, majored in math at UNC Asheville, and am now an editor at a small online textbook publisher. I spend my free time playing pool, playing cards, and dancing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have surfed several times, mostly with my dad Dave, and my former roommate Gabe and I hosted quite a few people over our 3 years living together. I love meeting people, cooking together or sharing food, and hearing other people’s stories. It’s great to be able to meet folks from all over the world without leaving your house!
