CURRENT MISSION

To share lived experiences.

ABOUT ME

From 2014-2015 I embarked on a year of independent travel and exploration to Ireland, Australia, Nepal, Sweden, Serbia, Bosnia, and Croatia as a Watson Fellow working on an independent project.

I find all people generally fascinating and interesting. I think we all have a story that shapes who we are and where we are at to some extent, and I like to listen to and learn from people's own lived experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

Make life easier on yourself, have some self compassion

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm back from traveling at the moment, so I'm happy to host anyone traveling through rural Tennessee!

Heading to Telluride at the end of May

Interests

Hiking trips, long runs. Creative activism. Finding urban green space in concrete jungles. The smell of coffee beans, quirky cafes. Vegan food that my omnivore friends also like. Good wine and craft beer.
