Hi, I'm Christina! I am easy-going and enjoy meeting new people. I'm an architect and small-scale housing developer living in Knoxville, Tennessee. I am passionate about affordable housing and always pursuing some sort of creative endeavor. I am a Christian and though I love to meet any and all sorts of people, I especially love connecting with my brothers and sisters in Christ around the world! I enjoy intellectual/philosophical conversations and discovering diverse perspectives. Getting drunk and partying are not my thing, and I prefer to hang out by having a conversation over drinks or playing board games.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and learning about other cultures, and I believe that regardless of culture and language, we are a world full of similar people with similar dreams. I love meeting people and making strong, lasting friendships.

Interests

I love exploring, hiking, and being outside. I'm a big fan of finding weird hole-in-the-wall places wherever I travel. My husband and I enjoy philosophical conversations, craft beer and coffee, and strategy board games. My husband is a musician and songwriter, so if we are traveling together and you have a guitar lying around, he will probably want to play it!
