About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live the life you love, love the life you live!

ABOUT ME

I would describe myself as thoughtful, funny, adventurous, and free-spirited. I try not to take life too seriously. I will try almost anything once. I live for the outdoors and would be thrilled to take my CSers hiking or rock climbing if I'm available to do so!

I love traveling and the adventure that it brings. I spent 6 months backpacking around Australia and New Zealand which was incredible. I have lived all over the U.S. And worked as a Park Ranger, Forestry Technician, Expedition Leader, Trail Crew Leader, arborist for a power company, EPB.

I am currently a grad student in the Landscape Architecture program at UGA

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a host in Athens GA and a couch surfer when I travel. Best of both worlds!

I love hosting! When I'm not in school, I enjoy showing my guests around Chattanooga, introducing them to my friends and having the best time possible. Whether we are cooking a meal together, going for a hike or just hanging out and talking about life, I will do my best to help make your visit to Chatt a memorable one!

Interests

I studied Parks and Recreation Management, because I wanted a career that allowed me to play, rather than be stuck behind a desk. So far it's working.

Exploring the outdoors is important to me, so when I'm not working, I like to spend time planning fun trips. It can be hiking in the foothills or a roadtrip to an outdoors destination like Moab or Telluride. I also enjoy attending music festivals... music, camping, friends and beer, does life get any better?
