Asheville native. UNC Charlotte graduate with a double major in history and psychology (minor in biology). I love traveling, reading, painting, cooking, and anything to do with the outdoors ( I am an Eagle Scout after all). If I am not busy teaching I am probably hanging out in NoDa or Plaza Midwood.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I am very internationally minded. I grew up with exchange siblings from Hungary, Colombia, The Netherlands, Finland, and Korea. I have visited with all of them multiple times and been to many of their weddings. I have travelled to 4 continents and over 40 countries. I am always looking to meet new internationally and travel minded friends.

Música, películas y libros

I read a lot of non fiction, historical stuff on all topics.
I do enjoy Kurt Vonnegut, Franz Kafka, Russian literature (Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Gogol, etc.), Edgar Allan Poe
I love anything by the Coen Brothers or Wes Anderson. I have religiously gone and seen the premiers of every superhero film from Iron Man onwards. I love old school Hollywood.
Music is a long list. I grew up on classic rock (David Bowie, the Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Neil Young etc.) I have an extensive vinyl collection. I really enjoy jazz, reggae, hip hop. I am very much into alternative/indie music such as Mac DeMarco, Beach House, Foster the People, Tame Impala, The Black Keys, and so on.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I am a teacher, so....
I am open to learn as much as possible. One of the great joys in life for me is learning about and embracing other cultures. To be an effective teacher one must always be learning.
Plenty to share. I love sharing my city with others, helping people create a unique and memorable experiences. Plus, if I have the time and energy, I love to cook for guests!

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

Local knowledge of fun neighborhoods, fun dives, craft beer, and good conversation. As stated before, I love sharing my city with others, helping people create a unique and memorable experience.
