CURRENT MISSION

to live life, not just survive.

ABOUT ME

PLEASE READ BEFORE SENDING A REQUEST:
I hate that I have to put up a disclaimer but with the growing community of Nashville and Couchsurfing it helps me weed out the people that are just looking for a free place to stay (Plus getting up to 10 requests a day can be slightly overwhelming) I will accept personal requests over the copy/paste messages. You don’t have to send a request mentioning everything in my profile but show some sort of indication that you did read it and WHY you chose us to stay with. So if you send me a request without making any indication that you read my profile, I wont respond and will move on to the next traveler looking to connect and go on adventures!

I'm a huge running nerd and just finished my second marathon. Being outside and spending time with good company is time well spent.

I tend to move around a bit because traveling does the soul good that or the stagnancy of staying in once place for too long bores me. I love meeting new people and having new experiences. The world is my home, no single country or city. I think its important to explore outside your comfort zone.

PHILOSOPHY

My goal right now is to learn as much about myself, the world and people as I can in order to have something of quality and substance to give back.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Giving back to the fellow travelers who have helped me on my cross country trips! Most of the people I've met via couch surfing have made such an impact on my heart and soul and without this site I wouldn’t have met some of the best people in this world!

Interests

RUNNING, biking, hiking, music, camping, traveling, plants, coffee, tea, animals, building things (love creating things with my hands),dancing, baking, space/stars, THE UNIVERSE, and over all just being outdoors. Did I mention I love music? Its my religion and you can relate it to just about any emotion or feeling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So I guess I have a few:

Ive ran a total of 10+ half marathons and 2 marathons (working of my third) I know half marathons and even full marathons are something lots of people do but the feeling after finishing and knowing that your body is capable of anything is one amazing feeling! If you ever need your faith restored, run or participate in a marathon!

In Spring of 2016 Barry and I went on a two month cross country road trip and had some amazing experiences but taking a night hike along the Grand Canyon and watching the moonrise was pretty amazing!

I also met Norman Reedus as he recently just traveled to Nashville on a motorcycle trip. What is more amazing than that!?

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to one hand clap because why use both when you can use one?!

I am willing to learn and be taught anything! I believe in trying anything once or even twice just to make sure I did it right the first time :D

There is always something going on in Nashville and we tend to always find something FREE to do because there's nothing like having a great time, great memories, at no cost!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share with you my southern charm! Originally from Virginia but that's the south too, right?! I love to share smiles, hugs, and positivity (I radiate it!)
