What is one thing you can buy that will make you richer? Travel. There are so many lessons to be learned from the exchange of cultures, hospitality, traditions, and perspectives.

While traveling around the world for a year in 2016-2017 I had some incredible couch surfing experiences! Rafting down the aare river for an afternoon with two teachers from Bern, discussing their culture and the environment for both Swiss and refugee students in the classroom. A French/Swedish couple who walked Stockholm with me for the day, swapping travel stories, the most amazing vegan brownies, and aspirations for the future . I was skeptical of CS at first, (stranger danger from grade school days?) but I've really enjoyed turning strangers into friends!

CURRENT MISSION

To try everything at least once: live with an open heart and mind

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love the idea of meeting people to exchange stories, travel experiences, or just a beer!

I have a spare bedroom in Atlanta, GA. I'm willing to host at my place or just take newcomers around the city. I have been living here for 15+ years and know some great gems in the city.
