I love to explore and meet new people! I am living a life full of adventure.

Currently in the process of becoming an acoustic musician.

"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.”

"A man practices the art of adventure when he breaks the chain of routine and renews his life through reading new books, travelling to new places, making new friends, taking up new hobbies and adopting new viewpoints.”
- Wildred Peterson

My hobbies are mountain biking, hiking, camping, fishing, reading, and exercising. I am always up to try something new. Variety is the spice of life. I have my Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology with a concentration in Exercise Science. I have lived in Birmingham, AL since 2012.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people who have experience in the city I am visiting. I want to travel more. Connect with interesting people that have different stories, philosophies, and experiences to share.

Interests

I love to sing and dance. Exercising daily is a motto I live by. I have just recently started mountain bike racing and placed 2nd in my first race. I enjoy heading out into nature to explore. Sustainability, foraging, and wilderness survival also interest me.

Sherlock Holmes movies, Borat, and Kingsman: The Secret Service.
