CURRENT MISSION

Aquiring good stories and life experience before becoming an alleged adult.

ABOUT ME

I'm a part time tour guide here in Raleigh, which is basically the coolest job ever. I get paid to tell people about my city, drink beer with cool people, and tell ghost stories! I work full time in publishing, which isn't as cool as it sounds. I also play the ukulele badly. I've swam through a cave in Mexico, hunted ghosts in an abandoned mental institution, hiked ruins in Belize, climbed a mountain in Spain, and eaten waffles in Belgium. I love everyone, and life, and everything, basically.

PHILOSOPHY

"Be kind, for everyone you know is fighting a hard battle."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't had an opportunity to host yet (please change that!) but I'd love to. I've met a lot of cool folks through CS and have traveled quite a bit on other people's couches.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I recently got back from Spain where I stayed with some very gracious friends who were excellent tour guides. It made my trip so much better.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Caving with a National Geographic guide in West Virginia. After climbing and pushing through a really challenging cave, we came to a open place with an underground waterfall, where we all just stood in awe. Traveling alone in Spain and hiking a mountain to find Quixote's windmill was an absolutely incredibly experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyone! Except excessively grumpy, overly negative, and hateful people. Which is pretty much no one on CS.
