Originally from Atlanta. Moved to Nashville in 2008 to attend Vanderbilt. Now I work in public health. If I'm not working I'm traveling ... which I probably do way too much :-/

I am gay ... but it neither defines me or is something that people usually know or suspect when they meet me. I have more straight friends than gay / lgbt (that may just be because there are more straight people in the world haha). Either way it's irrelevant to my lifestyle for the most part. I love hosting new friends here through CS ... never surfed with anyone myself while traveling ... I usually forget it's an option until I'm already in town somewhere lol (LOVE visiting new hostels and campgrounds :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Usually to host people here in Nashville as a way of meeting new friends from around the world. I happen to be a total nerd when it comes to random facts about Nashville, and definitely know all the local spots Nashville completely different from the average tourist experience. Plus... my bulldog Elizabeth happens to be a people person :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bungee jumped into the worlds deepest cavern. Scared the shit out of me.

Teach, Learn, Share

Part of my career involves leading internships and training others who work in Public Healthcare ... so I'm always teaching (probably one of the things I love most about my job). I am constantly reading and learning new things about new people, places, things, cultures, experiences, taboos, traditions, practices ... and life in general. The thing that makes me the happiest is sharing my life with those I love ... and those I get to spend time with.
