I was born in North Carolina and have lived all over the state from the mountains to the coast. After graduating from the University of North Carolina Wilmington I became an Environmental Education guide.

I have always had a passion for nature and I've been fortunate to be able to base my jobs around tourism and education.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've always loved traveling and CS has been good to me in the past while using friends accounts! I'm starting to travel on my own so I'm starting my very own account.

Interests

Kayaking, backpacking, surfing, rock climbing, sailing, and deep sea fishing and spear fishing.

I've been a Kayak and fishing guide for about 5 years now and still enjoy it during free time!

Music, Movies, and Books

My top five desert island picks for music would be: Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead, Led Zepplin, The Doors, and Bob Dylan

Wes Anderson is my favorite movie director and I enjoy all of his work!

Not huge on reading but I have read a little from Hunter S. Thompson and Jack Kerouac and really enjoyed what I've read!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've caught an 8 foot Lemmon Shark with my bare hands...

Teach, Learn, Share

Slow down to appreciate nature.. You never know what you can learn from the earth and oceans!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have great skills in home repairs. Anything from holes in drywall to fixing leaks. I am an animal lover and enjoy to cook!
