I'm 29 years old. A Kentucky transplant living in Alaska. I'm very laid back and open minded. I love the outdoors, I love to learn new things, and I love to share other people's cultures and experience someone's perspective on life. I'm a geek. I drink a lot of coffee. I make really good fried chicken, if that's your thing.

I'm also passionate about helping others and community service. I currently mentor an at risk youth through Big Brothers Big Sisters. In the past I've also volunteered as a an instructor for Junior Achievement and a volunteer income tax preparer in rural Alaska -- if you have family in Saint Paul Island, Alaska, there's a very good chance I've done their taxes!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I want to meet people and see the world. I also want to help more people travel cheaply.

As a guest, my philosophy is that a guest should reciprocate their hosts' generosity by helping with household chores, cleaning, cooking a meal for them, and just generally providing good vibes and positivity. I want the good Karma I put out as a guest to equal the good Karma my host is putting out to me.
