ABOUT ME

What do you believe to be true that you cannot fully prove?

The reason that I don't have my facebook "linked" to my couchsurfing account is because I oftentimes deactivate my facebook when I get sick of it

But I love my city of Memphis and I want you to love it too! Even if you don't want to surf here, please message me and maybe we can meet up for a beer! I am also in the middle of compiling a list of things to do in Memphis and would love to share that with you. Just ask!

*** Please bring teas from your home country if you can! I would love to try them :) Also, I really like collecting coins from different countries and I would be delighted if you could bring those as well.

PHILOSOPHY

If you do not like something, either change it or change the way you think about it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to host travelers from different countries as I have always been fascinated by this type of "exchange". Memphis is an incredibly complex city with a rich history and a hopeful future. I have absolutely fallen in love with this city during my 4 years here because Memphis has been so great to me. I keep a pretty busy schedule but I would love to show/tell you why Memphis is so great

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I oftentimes think about why I am so obsessed with couchsurfing, and this is the conclusion that I have come to....

CS reminds me of the sheer goodness of humanity. It's amazing to me that strangers will open up their doors and hearts to welcome you into their world - to show you first-hand how they see their own world. It is these feelings that fuel and feed my soul, inspiring me to reach out further and to find a friend in even the most unlikely circumstances.
