I grew up in North Carolina, but I've spent time living in Las Vegas and Copenhagen. I'm currently on a road trip to California to start a Masters Program in Urban Planning at UCLA.

I've been fortunate to visit over 30 countries in my life. I love travelling and experiencing new cultures while building friendships. I like chess, playing guitar, and cooking! I'd be happy to cook a meal for any Couchsurfing host.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hosted couchsurfers to keep some random magic in my life. Now that I am traveling I can not think of a better way to see a new place.

When I started couchsurfing, I thought it was just a convenient way to find a place to stay and meet interesting people, but after hosting, I started to really enjoy the community's opening culture couchsurfing. I believe couchsurfing is slowly building a better world.

Interests

Cities and how they work, cooking / dinner parties, live music, Viennese Secession, bumblebees.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My biggest accomplishment at this point in my life was building a Piñata costume for Halloween.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can give a brief history lesson: the Southeastern US, the evolution of cities, and Quakers.

I know a simple form of Qi-Gong (similar to tai-chi) that I can teach.
