Inquisitive, creative, kind hearted, nature-loving travel enthusiast.
I love to be outside, appreciating natural settings from beach-y environments to mountains (where I feel most in my element.) I adore bikes of all kinds, especially trail riding on mountain bikes. I am an active person in general, loving yoga, dance, hiking, running, and pick up soccer. However, I am also a nerd at heart: I recently quit my day job to plunge full time into my writing ambitions. I spend a lot of time reading books or magazines with a cup of tea (which I would love to share with you-- the tea and/or books!). I relish connecting with people, whether like minded or otherwise, and get along easily with all kinds. However, I am the sort of person who also appreciates alone time and solitude in healthy doses-- that's the writer in me I suppose :)

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

It's an incredible way to see the world!

Hosting:
I frequently hosted in the past with my roommate (Kevin Quinn) but neglected to get my profile started until after we had already hosted a few folks. As a result, my friends/references are sparser than my experience. I neglected this site for a couple of years and now I am back.
** While I am unable to host at this time (in the midst of my own travels), I would be open to meeting people with shared interests traveling into Asheville if I am home.

Surfing:
Vibrant community and real connection are appealing to me.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

What a list this could potentially be! I suppose you should just ask. I am a bookworm and movie lover with broad tastes. Music wise, I tend to listen to hip hop the most (I come from Atlanta!) but appreciate almost everything.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I quit my day job to focus full time on my writing. Scary but liberating!
About to take my first solo trip abroad to Norway.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

Right now I am far more interested in what I can learn than what I can teach.

Teach:
I have been told by friends who do not speak English as a native language that I am fun to converse with because of my diverse vocabulary (and love for language!) However, this is not an intentional "teaching"... more just a happy by product of great conversation :)

Learn:
how to go with the flow a bit more! I am laid back in a lot of ways but I also have a tendency to want to plan EVERYTHING. As I grow older I see that this streak holds me back from taking some risks so I'd like to learn balance with it.

more language proficiency in any other language.

whatever you'd like to share.

Share:
I can brew delicious tea and I am quite the dance floor partner in crime.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

I am a tidy, respectful house guest willing to go with your flow! I am kind and empathetic and look forward to meeting many new friends through my Couchsurfing experiences.
