ABOUT ME

I am a native of Knoxville, TN, educated at Duke University and the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) now living in Midland, MI.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am happy to share a sofa as well as travel experiences and insights.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed the night with a couple in Colorado's snow country. I also connected with another fellow traveler to share some time and fuel expenses traversing Namibia.

Interests

I enjoy swimming, cycling, hiking, and cooking. I have a very well behaved 14 year old dog (lab mix).
