ABOUT ME

I've been an Asheville resident on and off for the past 7 years but I love the area and I think this time I'm here to stay (at least for a little while...). When I'm not working I try to enjoy all the great things this area has to offer -- hiking, swimming, local beer, awesome food, live (and sometimes free) music. These mountains are beautiful and I've slowly discovered tons of great hiking places within easy reach. I love love love to cook, especially with friends. I love animals though have no pets -- something I look forward to when my living situation allows.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Up until this point I've only couchsurfed once, but it was really great and I hope to do it again soon. I've wanted to host for years now and am finally in the position to be able to, so I'm looking forward to that! I'm also up for simply meeting up or being a guide around town.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had my first couchsurfing experience last summer and it was absolutely amazing -- I'm a true CS believer now!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to exchange knowledge in cooking and gardening. I love to cook and feed my friends and am forever looking for new ideas, so anyone who's up for cooking with me is welcome. I don't have a garden but do have lots of indoor plants and sometimes feel like they need more love than I know how to give. So I'd love to learn how!
