CURRENT MISSION

to discover what my current mission is

ABOUT ME

I'm a software/tech person. I've been in the Charlotte area since 2018. Before that I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for almost 20 years and was into the tech startup scene for a while. Now I enjoy life at a slower pace.

My favorite things about living in Fort Mill:
* The people! Everyone is so friendly; It's very refreshing if you're coming from a very urban place.
* Tons of great hiking and MTB trails: Anne Springs Greenway, Baxter trails, and the Rock Hill Riverwalk are some of my favorites.
* The Peach Stand. A Fort Mill landmark. It has a great organic grocery, butcher, bakery, cafe, ice cream shop and of course lots of peaches! (when in season)
* Carowinds (big amusement park) is very close; you can skip all the highway traffic and get there on the regular roads in 5 minutes

I'm open-minded, free-spirited and always enjoy a good conversation!

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live. Discover the universe. Do what you love. It's OK if you don't know the answer. Life is about enjoying the journey.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I lived in California I hosted surfers and loved the experience. I enjoy being a good host to my guests! I love meeting new people. Now that I've settled in the Carolinas, I'm ready to open my home again to more couchsurfers.
