About Me

I'm laidback, friendly and I love exploring. I'm new to the couchsurfing community and am looking forward to meeting new people and sharing experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Once on a solo backpacking trip I realized that the most cherished memories came from the people I met along the way. Exploring a new place is exciting and the stories you share with the people you meet creates a common narrative. I'm here to continue exploring, meeting new people and sharing great stories.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Everything from AC/DC to Wyclef and everything in between. Punk, Bluegrass, Folk, EDM, Hip Hop, Blues. Being from Memphis I like a lot of music, especially if its got Soul.

Movies: Also a long list...All the Genres.. Some all time faves would have to be Pulp Fiction, Shawshank Redemption, Spaceballs, City of God, Trainspotting, Dune, and Goundhog Day.

Books(or Authors): Roald Dahl, Stephen King, Kurt Vonnegut Jr. , David Sedaris, George Orwell, Mark Twain. I read the Classics in Latin(read: a long time ago) and enjoy the mythos. I tend to gravitate toward the Beat Generation and the Harlem Renaissance in lit. I mostly read Humor, Mystery or Sci-fi books these days.
