I was born in PA but raised in VA and currently reside in Charlotte, NC. I have my Culinary Arts and Food Service Management degree from Johnson & Wales University and I am currently pursuing my MBA with a concentration in Human Resources at Keller Graduate School of Management. I am a lover of food, wine, music, and travel. I am a runner. I enjoy planning trips in my spare time. I will try just about anything at least one (unless I have a bad feeling about it, I always try to trust my gut feeling).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For the opportunity to explore cities and places with locals and meet new people all around the world.

Interests

I am a big foodie and love wine. I love trying new foods wherever I go. I want to eat what the locals eat and not something I can get back home. I enjoy wine tours and tastings or just a nice glass with any meal. I love music and traveling for music festivals and concerts. And what they all have in common, my biggest love of all which is traveling and exploring new places. I also run and love it. I've done 5ks, a 15k, and a Half Marathon. Definitely want to start planning trips around races in different cities too.
Other things include:
Cooking
Hiking
Bike Riding
Broadway Shows
Crafting/ Painting
Sporting Events- I love football!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all music. My iTunes is filled with everything from old school to 90s to Rock to country to Hip Hop/Rap to gospel but I mostly listen to R&B.
I have too many favorite movies to name but a few are The Wood, Love Jones, Save the Last Dance, Step Brothers, & The Lion King!
Just about anytime I pick up a new book it becomes a favorite. I enjoy reading and need to find more time to get lost in a good book.
