Update: Out of the city for six months (May-October), eager to host upon return!

I have reallllllly let my responses to requests fall by the wayside. I am trying to get back into hosting now, for a while I was working 50+hour weeks and it just wasn't possible for me to let anyone stay. I also didn't take the time to update my profile to reflect that, bad bad me. Feel free to send a request or message if you find yourself in Little Rock and I will do my best to accommodate you. Preference given to anyone who wants to talk about beer/whiskey/food/Archie comics.

CURRENT MISSION

Sound my barbaric yawp and all that

ABOUT ME

First and foremost, I am a lady, don't let the name and haircut fool you. I go by Jack and have for most of my life, but my real name is Jean Elizabeth. I was born in a Southern town along the Mississippi Delta, and come from a long line of great unwashed, but I've been known to discuss literature on occasion. I have an endless amount of interests and will try anything once. I stay busy, and talk a lot.

PHILOSOPHY

I can't say that I have a definite personal philosophy. I think it is a waste of time to have a job you hate, or spend all your life doing things you'd rather not but I can't say that is my philosophy. Seems like common sense.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting and surfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All completely positive. I've been a member for a few years and in that time, met a lot of truly amazing people. Whether someone just needs a place to sleep for a night or wants to have an adventure, I've learned saying yes usually pays off.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm not as concerned with what I have seen as what I will see.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach anyone that is interested a little about farming and cooking. I can teach them more than they'd want to know about whiskey, and the whiskey making process. I know a little about a lot of things, and I love to share.
