CURRENT MISSION
To make friends near and far and explore the world.

ABOUT ME
I am an old soul. I love baking, thrifting, sewing, and making the most of downtime. I am a photographer, and would love to capture your stay in the Shoals. I also have my own vintage clothing shop called Southern Trash. I am online at www.southerntrash.co. I find joy in the little things in life. I get stir-crazy if I am in one place too long. I want to understand the world and people.

PHILOSOPHY
The more you give, the more you get.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love traveling and meeting people. Couchsurfing solidifies my thoughts on how kind and generous the world is.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have stayed with two hosts and made some great friends along the way. I hosted a Frenchman, and was with him when he ate his first biscuit and gravy. We have hosted marvelous musicians from Maine. One of our surfers biked thousands of miles to visit the Shoals. I love showing folks Muscle Shoals.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This one time, I caught a cell phone that was flying through the air on the roller coaster "Goliath" at Six Flags over Georgia right as the picture for the ride snapped. It is the most coordination I have ever displayed and it was caught on camera.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love showing people around The Shoals. I can share my playlists, DIYs, and how to find a killer deal on the internet (or in stores, but the internet is king nowadays). I also run Southern Trash (find me on Instagram @southerntrash), which carries retro, reclaimed, and reinvented clothing. I can definitely hook you up with a stylish getup while you are in town. I also make a mean pineapple upside down cake.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am super tidy and up for any new adventure. I can take your photo. I can help cook, clean, and organize. I love organizing things. If you need me to sort your closet by color/size/texture/pattern, I am down.
