I was in the military for about 8 years, and now I work as a nurse here in Asheville. I like traveling a lot, and have made it a lifelong mission to see new a little more every year. I have several hobbies such as hashing, swordfighting, snowboarding, and teaching myself the violin.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Same as everyone else! I think locals are the best way to see a new place, and I always find cool spots when I meet a local friend. I like to host people, exchange places to stay, and meet people in new cities.

Interests

I like playing video and table top games, cooking, and exploring. I love caves and swimming. I do Historical European Martial Arts in my spare time.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read a lot of books but like fantasy the best, and a wide range of music. I like a lot of movies, but anime is at the heart of my entertainment when it comes to watching anything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Danced with a group of Ugandan kids jamming out to my music.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can point to some great spots in Asheville, tell you spots to avoid, and generally do the same for countries/areas I have been to already.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Crash space, some warm food and drinks, and a hot shower. We live in a cabin from the 1930's on 100 acres of land, so it's pretty secluded and can be quite pretty.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Djibouti, England, France, Germany, Honduras, Japan, Mexico, Uganda

Countries I’ve Lived In
