Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently traveling across the US with my sweet puppy.
Been taking people (and some animals) in since I've had my own place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed in Boston, Indianapolis, and Denver, and found true friends and kindred spirits in these welcoming homes. Couldn't ask for anything more!

Interests

My dog is my best friend.
I love my family, blood and chosen.
I write constantly for myself and for money.
I read, draw, take photos, and paint for pleasure.
I dance to most any kind of music and sometimes to no music at all.
I sing while grocery shopping.
I collect rocks, shells, and junk.
I feed strays.
I grow things... mainly vegetables.
I make a mean breakfast.
I appreciate intense conversations and good bourbon.

Music, Movies, and Books

At the moment...

I'm not watching movies, but I miss TCM so much.
I'm listening to the newest album by the Carolina Chocolate Drops.
I'm reading the series that Game of Thrones is based on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ringing in the New Year on the Champs Elysees with my Dad.
Watching giant iguanas crawl across Mayan ruins in Mexico with my siblings.
Jumping from a bridge into a lake with three of my dearest friends in Mount Pleasant, NC.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to dougie, how to make flowers from post-it notes, and how to use the phrase "bless your heart" in a sentence. I also have a whole brain's worth of useless knowledge that perhaps you can put to good use.

I want to learn everything all the time. Right now, my focus is on practical skills, traditional methods, and common sense.

Countries I’ve Visited

Bahamas, Canada, France, Jamaica, Mexico, United Kingdom, United States
