I absolutely love having people over to swap stories with--having lived in Korea backpacked through Southeast Asia and Scandinavia, I guess talking to travelers is my way of reliving old adventure while being settled in Atlanta.

My home is in Reynoldstown, convenient to MARTA and tons of rad stuff. I have a couch and an air mattress available, and can host 1-3 people. There is a small fire pit in the backyard and I have a gentle cocker spaniel named Griffin. It's cool if you're a smoker (I am). Would love to swap art and stories and take you to shows!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was a backpacker once, and am so grateful to all of my hosts, as they were some of the best parts of my trips. I love the experience of the closeness you develop when you travel and exchanging ideas, music, and language.

Teach, Learn, Share

When traveling, don't discount the value in solo travel. Constantly meeting people along the way, you're never really alone. And often, the people you meet are more memorable than anything you see.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I doubt I'll be traveling in the near future BUT I can cook, I can swap stories, I can create and share art.
