I am currently a student at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, GA (USA). I am completely new to CS, but I am all for what it stands for and meeting new people. I have grown up on the coast of Georgia where I have been fishing, surfing, boating, kayaking, and sailing all my life. I love the outdoors and everything it has to offer. I spend a lot of my time also in the mountains hiking, backpacking, and climbing. Even though I am always out and about I always appreciate getting to experience cities, food, and having a good time.

I am always up for any kind of adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy getting to meet new people and experience what it is like to be a "local" in the areas I am traveling too. You get to learn, eat, and do things you have never done before. I've learned that life is too short to live it in one place or with the same group of friends, but instead seeing different cultures and meeting cool people.
