CURRENT MISSION

seeing what there is to see.

ABOUT ME

I graduated from college where I studied Art History and Spanish. I enjoy occupying my time reading old New Yorkers and Vanity Fair magazines..and classic novels I never read in high school.
I find great joy in sharing a kitchen and cooking together. I enjoy sitting, relaxing and enjoying a good conversation over a glass of wine or a cup of coffee equally as much as going out for a full evening of dining and dancing.

PHILOSOPHY

aspiring for easy come, easy go...but really just learning to take it as it comes and find a reason to laugh in it all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I enjoy meeting new people and sometimes the spontaneous and impromptu meetings make the most interesting interactions. I also like the notion of sharing a space with people, to see what it's really like in the more established homes of the places I visit. Providing economical accommodations via couch surfing also allows visitors and travelers to spend more time and money on other activities in the city with a little bit of the local insight. It's a beautiful thing on some many levels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in a few places around the States: school in Memphis, TN & Seattle, WA, summers working in North Carolina, and growing up in Louisiana.
I've lived in Madrid, Spain and traveled a little bit through Europe. After seeing people and places in southern Africa, I find myself reviving my roots in Alabama.
I just like packing a bag and being on my way.
