CURRENT MISSION
City hop around the world.
ABOUT ME
Loving Charleston, SC, I'm working in arts administration and foodservice, managing a dinner theater and planning special events. With some wedding photography gigs on the side, I stay pretty busy but make time to explore all Charleston's food scene has to offer, spend time at the beach, and travel to see friends around the world.
PHILOSOPHY
Life to me, is the exchange of experiences and knowledge. All the know-how in the world amounts to nothing if you don't do anything with it. Life is to be shared.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I would love to meet people and do some traveling!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
In college I couchsurfed with a group of friends through Ireland, staying in 5 homes across the country. Staying with a wide range of people made my trip what it was. Learning about the country from locals gave me an experience I wouldn't have had any other way!
My roommates and I have also hosted a number of people while in Charleston!
Interests
Local food, mixology, going to concerts, riding fixed gear bikes, pitbulls, long days on the beach, film photography, wedding planning.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have stayed at an inn on Lake Arenal in Costa Rica owned by a Swiss family. Staying during the off season, we were the only guests at the inn with the owners and we were instantly taken in as part of the family. To our greatest surprise, on our last day visiting we were invited to take a train ride on the owner's own Swiss train he had built a track for, weaving up through his property. Expecting nothing spectacular, we were blown away as we discovered that this one man had single-handedly built a 5 mile train track, under/over homemade stone bridges, through the cloudforest, up to a mini version of the National museum in the lowest floor of their restaurant. To top it off, the dining room floor rotated just like the restaurant at the top of the Space Needle. My mind was blown and the owner even built this mechanisms on his own, based off the mechanics of a watch.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach someone how to juggle three balls, set up a down rigger for spanish mackerel fishing, poach a salmon, decorate a wedding cake, use a film camera, french braid, or play racquetball.
