I love to travel, see new places and meet new people. I love adventure, especially bikepacking and backpacking. I love camping and being in the woods. I love to visit the mountains--and wish I could live there!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm usually looking for a place to crash when I'm bikepacking as an alternative to camping if there are not any campgrounds nearby.

Interests

I enjoy cycling whether it's on the road, trails or gravel/dirt backroads. I also like kayaking and checking out new rivers in NC. I really want to do more kayak camping--been looking at some potential spots and getting excited to plan my new paddling adventure.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Beach House, any movie by the Cohen Brothers, Wes Anderson, and Stanley Kubrick, and my favorite book is Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. I even have the cover art tattooed on my arm!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was the first in my family to graduate from a four year college.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like baking and cooking. I'm a fairly decent bike mechanic. And I love discussing urban planning and history.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversation, my delightful personality, a wily sense of humor, and the promise that you will get post cards in the mail from me (possibly for years to come).
