CURRENT MISSION

To live my life as fully as possible. Staying present, staying grounded.

ABOUT ME

In my early 30s, living in the lovely city of Asheville. I love to nerd out on coffee, slacklining, cycling, rock climbing and acro yoga. I eat a mostly vegetarian diet and am sober. I really like being in the woods more than cities. I am currently in school to become a Physical Therapist Assistant, so time is less available.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Had a profile several years ago and surfed a couch or two. Looking for new people to meet in new places. I'm out of town fairly often, but could definitely show folks around if our schedules line up.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Haven't had too much experience with it, but looking for more.
