CURRENT MISSION

I'll stay put when I'm dead!

ABOUT ME

I work as a teacher/student in Lille, France but proudly hail from Nashville, TN! Meeting new people makes me feel warm and fuzzy, especially those who can teach me something(hey, that's everyone!).

PHILOSOPHY

Everything will always be fine! Worry is an illness you give yourself when your perspective is cloudy.

"People find it so hard to be happy because they see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be." --Marcel Pagnol

"We all know sometimes life's hates and troubles
Can make you wish you were born
in another time and space
But you can bet your life times that
and twice its double
That God knew exactly where
he wanted you to be placed "
-- Stevie Wonder, "As

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd love to talk to anyone! Let's meet for a coffee or a beer if you're coming through my neck of the woods. My couch might be available, but it's not an ideal hosting space. Sometimes that just doesn't matter, does it?

Mainly surfin' in the USA, but I'm very interested in being able to host people as soon as I am equipped to do so.

Music, Movies, and Books

Dabbling in everything; Just give me a beat. Any kind. I like to read science fiction, but history is interesting, too. I watch movies to laugh, but appreciate the ones that make me think. I like media that are memorable.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Idk, I was in an infomercial for make-up filmed in Brussels one time. That was pretty amazing.

No but for real? I drove from Austin, Texas to Yellowstone National Park and back in 11 days with my best friend and although we totally failed at taking pictures, we had an amazingly memorable trip.
