About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live in the light.

ABOUT ME
After working in corporate accounting for 3 years and going to law school part time in the evenings for the past 2, I recently "retired" from my accounting job and am spending the summer backpacking Europe. I'll be a full time law student when I get back to the States in August. It's been a little while since I've used CS due to the hectic schedule of the past few years, but I love the concept and love hosting guests at my home in Atlanta.

PHILOSOPHY

I treat every day as an adventure. Every day is a gift, and I want to find something good out of it and have fun. Life isn't meant to be miserable or boring. Get involved, say hello to a stranger, make friends, help someone in need, try something new, constantly be willing and looking to learn. No matter where you are or your current situation, if you have the right mindset, you can always find an adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

CouchSurfer and Host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience was surfing in Seattle, WA for 5 days with my best friend. It was awesome and I was immediately hooked! When our host came to Atlanta for a work conference, we were able to return the favor and show him around our great city.

I also like hosting and have enjoyed having guests from Australia, Canada, Colombia, and America at my home here in Atlanta.

As a host, CouchSurfing provides an avenue to "travel" without ever leaving your home. I have gained great friendships, learned about other ways of life, and made life long memories.
