I would describe my self as a people loving, school teaching, coffee sipping, sport playing, Chaco wearing, ever travelling, friend, sister, and lover of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to travel. I'm young, and let's be honest--I'm a teacher--so I'm not paying to stay at a 5 Star Hilton as I explore the world.

But then again, who would want to stay in a hotel when you could meet locals, and get to know people from all over?

I want to meet people and experience life with others.

So-- will let me stay on your couch?

Interests

I enjoy being outside: hiking, hammocking, disc golfing, and the like.

When the weather isn't suitable, I like to read, play board games, drink coffee, or go bowling. (Fun fact--I'm a high school bowling coach)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can leave you alone--or hang with you, give you directions, recommend great places, take you for a meal, and show you a little of Birmingham.

SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY.

Oh, and a free place to stay, of course.
