I grew up in a family that loved to travel and that love got passed down to me. Mom was an Army brat and served in the Navy, so I grew up with her stories of travel and adventure. Took Spanish and German in high school, decided to major in German in college, which gave me the opportunity to live abroad in south Germany for a year. After college I got some more traveling in, but lately I seem to be settled in east Tennessee with a couple pups and a new house!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I lived in the international dorm in college, and made some great friends there. Gave me some good contacts when I did my year abroad and was able to couch surf a bit of Europe by staying with friends I'd made.
Currently I am getting settled into my first home, so financially it will probably be a while before I can travel much. So the next best thing would be to bring traveling people to me!
