ABOUT ME

I grew up in rural Alabama. I am the child of well educated parents who instilled in my brothers and I a love of family, knowledge, nature and adventure.
I've been lucky enough in life to see an abundance of all four.

PHILOSOPHY

Share what you love with those you love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm in the midst of a long trip away from my home. I will only have the abilty to surf for the next few months.
I look foward to meeting people in their homes. I feel this gives you and insight into a person and a city that you can't get from a hostel or hotel.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to the site and have neither surfed nor hosted yet.
When I return home I plan to be an active host. I love meeting new people and showing off my city.

Interests

I enjoy the Atlanta Symphony and frequent the High Art Museum.
I have a great love, near obession with movies. It is a subject I could discuss for hours.
