Though I am American, I've spent over half of my life growing up in Thailand in the capital city of Bangkok. I live in TN currently, and after having graduated from Lee University with a double major in Intercultural Studies and International Business, I aspire to one day be back again living overseas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I personally love the opportunity of traveling, and of meeting different people. I don't think you experience a place fully until you are able to experience the people that live there, and I think Couchsurfing is a great opportunity through which to do that. Also being able to stay on someone's couch for free provides an experience that is both convenient/affordable, as well as a direct personal glimpse into their lives and culture of the place that you wouldn't get otherwise.

Interests

I love pretty much any sport, though my personal favorite is Ultimate Frisbee. There are certain things that can bring almost any group of people together, and those are sports, good food, coffee, and music (and also obviously God). I love pretty much anything outdoors.
