I love the outdoors and most associated activities: biking, camping, hiking, climbing, kayking, etc. I'm an especially avid cyclist, and have recently started doing long, multi-day bike tours or bikepacking trips. I'm a student at the University of Tennessee studying political science and economics. I'm a big follower of the Tennessee Vols, especially for basketball, which we are horrible at... I love to travel and I'm trying to get out to do and see more.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I'm involved with a similar site, Warmshower.org, whcih provides accomidations to people travelling via bicycle, but I'm looking for places to stay when I'm traveling by more traditional means. I've had great expereince as a host and a guest through warm showers and I hope to have similar experiences here on couchsurfer.

Интересы

As I mentioned above, I love the outdoors, especially biking. I also really enjoy reading, movies, theater, and, though it sounds strange to many, going to school. as of late I've also been trying my hand at woodworking, and I have produced a couple tables and chairs.

Музыка, кино и книги

My favorite movie tends to be the most recent good movie I've seen, but if I had to select an all time favorite it would be Good Will Hunting.

I listen to a lot of music mostly indie type bands, such as Tv on the Radio, Twin Peaks, Twin Shadows, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, and other bands like this. Being from Tennessee though, I also have an affinity for bluegrass and folk

I love to read, but I'm also a very picky reader. My favorite book is The Stranger by Albert Camus. I also enjoy J.D. Salinger, John Steinbeck, and Ray Bradburry, among others.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

I recently completed my longest bike tour to date. I rode from Memphis, TN to New Orleans, LA. It took me 8 consecutive days of riding and covered over 530 miles. Earlier in the year some friends and I took a roadtrip through the southwest United States that ended at the Grand Canyon.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I love to get the local experience wherever I go, so I try and learn as much as possible from the people who host me. I enjoy sharing stories and travel experiences.

Чем я могу поделиться с хостами

I'd be happy to help with household chores or walk dogs or whatever else needs to be done. I'd also like to take my host out for a meal or a drink.
