I grew up in the Charleston area and have a deep love for this part of the country and I would love to share that with whomever. I currently work at an art gallery downtown, but I plan saying my goodbye soon and doing some traveling. I love seeing all that a city has to offer and what makes it so great, and in my opinion the best way to do that is to have someone show you around and dig deep. Food and traveling are some of my biggest passions and to combine the two is a dream. When I travel I want to experience what the destination is known for and what it does best . I also enjoy walking through a city and taking in the city scape and architecture. I am courteous, tidy, respectful and I generally love meeting new people and share my passions with them and show them and vice versa.

TRAVEL PLANS: I am moving to LA from Charleston so I thought why not make it a fun road trip across the nation. Hitting major cities and sites along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love showing people around the city I call my home. There is so much to offer and I wouldn't want someone to fall into a tourist trap. I want to experience what makes a city so great and the best way to do that is with having a local show you around.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music and film are two of my biggest loves in life. I try to consume as much music as I can, and I find great joy in going to a local music whenever I have the chance. I try and have a foot in all sides of the local scene, so if you are in Charleston I can take you a relaxing folk show or a rowdy and loud hardcore show. Some of my favorite music acts are My Bloody Valentine, Nine Inch Nails, Full of Hell, and Carly Rae Jepsen. I am excited to see what the place I visit have to offer musically. When It comes to movies, my dream is eventually to work in the industry, with some of my favorite directors being Michael Mann, Godard, and Wong Kar Wai.
