Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm willing to help anyone who is traveling through my area, and am all about promoting couch surfing and getting people involved! CS RULES BABY.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CouchSurfing restored my faith in humanity. True Story.

A while back I drove a lap around the continental US looking at grad schools and taking in the sights. All the while, I was couch surfing and meeting such great people. I hope that I can continue to participate in couchsurfing and pay the great experience that I have had forward.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a pretty strong background in camping and lots of practical knowledge that comes from living in the country.

I'm currently working on Ph.D. in Sport Performance - which is like coaching/ex. phys. I work as a weightlifting coach at the Olympic Training Site at East Tennessee State University. In addition, I've worked with a wide variety of sports teams and individuals as a strength and conditioning coach. I sometimes personally train people.

I play a few instruments and have a good grasp on music theory. I can help with most brass and stringed instruments, as well as with composition and arranging.

Also, I've always got good music to share.
