CURRENT MISSION

I am called by the Lord to seek doors that he has opened to amazing people and places that I might be a light for Him in this dark world.

ABOUT ME

I love Jesus. Everything else is secondary.

PHILOSOPHY

If it's not fun, why do it?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to host people, but I'm mostly doing prep work for a year-long backpacking trip through Europe and trying to find some plush Euro couches.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once broke into a really cool bell tower at University of Tennessee with my friend Elise at night. After shimmying up a sealed off chimney, crawling through a tiny crawl space, breaking into a locked door, going up a sketchy spiral staircase, and fighting winged creatures, we made it to the very top of the building.
