I have a degree in education but I am not sure that is where my calling is. I currently live near Seattle, WA but am a Tennesseean at heart.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am new to couchsurfing. Normally, I stay in hostels or guest houses. I began my travel bug with the Peace Corps in Thailand from 2009 to 2011. That was my first international trip, my first new language and my first experience with the desire to experience other cultures.

Interests

I love cycling, backpacking, caving, climbing, hiking, and nearly any sport that gets me outside.
