About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore and to be cultured. I am always up for an adventure and some good food.

ABOUT ME

I am a 23 year old North Carolinian that loves to travel as much as I can. I graduated from Appalachian State University with a BSBA in General Management with an Entrepreneurship concentration and an International Business. I currently reside in Charlotte, NC and would love to meet up for a drink or an adventure. I would say I am very laid back, and if I had to describe myself in three words they would probably be: responsible, organized, and spontaneous.

PHILOSOPHY

As the ticos would say, Pura Vida!

"Keep Calm and Hakuna Matata."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As of recently, I have been busy finishing up my degree and trying to decide what my next step is going to be, so participation has been very minimal. Sorry guys, I want this to change!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

I enjoy hiking, backpacking, kayaking, skiing, hammocking, road tripping, scuba diving, eating, cooking, drinking a good beer or bourbon, socializing, listening to music, or just hanging out by a fire. So if any of this sounds like you, hit me up! I would love to go grab a drink and share some of my experiences with you!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like movies, and forget actors names.

Although, I have yet to learn how to play an instrument (it is on the bucket list) music is a huge part of my life. I love ALmost all genres and enjoy going to festivals (Bonnaroooo, Counterpoint, Tomorrowworld).

Now that I have graduated I hope to have some more free time to read some things by choice, but if you were to ask which book I read most recently it would be the Dali Lama's Art of Happiness.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've stood in a Tennessee field with 100,000+ people, and been given piano lessons by Stevie Wonder. Anyone else there?

Teach, Learn, Share
