CURRENT MISSION

To find love, truth, and my car keys. Not necesarilly in that order...

ABOUT ME

I could not tell "all about me" in a tiny white box...I am a teacher in the mountains of North Carolina. I love my work and the freedom and opportunities it affords me. I also love this area of the US...it is some of the most beautiful country in the world that I've seen so far.

I really enjoy getting to know people, especially people from other places. That's one of the main reasons I joined this community...I want to visit people and host people from diverse walks of life.

PHILOSOPHY

I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm dead.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed the world a little bit, but I absolutely loved Ireland. Me, my dad, and best friend drove much of the country, and we stayed in Bed and Breakfasts throughout the country. The people of Ireland are such a class-act!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies...hm...I like just about anything that's well written and well acted. Music, my tastes are somewhat varied, but some of my favs include: Dave Matthews Band, Hootie, Jimmy Buffet, Counting Crows, Genesis, Phil Collins, Norah Jones, Sinatra, Cake, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Barenaked Ladies, and others. Books: I am currently attempting to tackle the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I never read it as a kid, and am shamed to say that it took the movies coming out to get me interested. One thing's for sure, I never should have bought the blasted trilogy all in one book!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Back in '05, I was in Italy with a tour group. One of the more unexpected destinations of the trip was Lake Guarda. If you have never seen this place, you must; it is beautiful!
