CURRENT MISSION

Travel more, work in a field that I love, watch more movies.

ABOUT ME

I'm a recent college graduate from Tennessee who moved across the country to Portland, OR with my girlfriend, Mollie. I think it's important to be nice to people. I'm thoughtful, observant, clean, and organized. I’m sort of quiet but also definitely a people-person. I really enjoy making new friends and then having drinks with them (especially wheat beers!)

PHILOSOPHY

When you can chill, chill.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I travel, I love meeting hosts and learning about their cities/about their life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

2014: I traveled across Western Europe after study abroad with my girlfriend, we couchsurfed twice. Both times were great! Learned about cultures, new cities and foods.
2015: We traveled across the US from Knoxville to Portland in a bold move with no prospective jobs or a place to live. We couchsurfed four times, and again I loved each experience and how different they all were. Stayed in an old house that used to be a doctor office to a farm house in Nebraska.

Interests

I love movies, table tennis, trying new foods, cats, Starcraft, Kandinsky, and wearing nice clothes.
I can spend all day in an art museum, no problem.
