Hello! I'm here with my good friend and climbing partner Jacob! We live in Asheville, NC, where we met at UNCA. We are both passionate climbers, although Jacob is a lot more passionate than most people I've meet. He taught me how trad climb, and has helped me become the climber I am today. We both eat a plant based diet, and don't like the same music.

Aside from climbing, I love being outside, dancing, going to the skate park, kayaking, and drinking water. Living an environmentally sustainable life is super important to me, as well as helping people smile. I'm very conscious with my actions, and try to think about the impacts that I'm making. If you are familiar with the "leave no trace" principles of being outdoors, that is my lifestyle! It is unlikely that you'd find me in the club, I have a bed time.

Jacob loves cooking amazing vegan dinners, eating smooshed PB and J's, talking about climbing, and listening the the Grateful Dead. Jacob is very kind and friendly, even if the conversation is about something other than climbing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are on a Journey, to Yosemite, to Climb Big Walls! We are driving from North Carolina, and hoping to find cool people to stop with along the way.

Interests

We like climbing and whitewater kayaking, foot races, trampoline bounces, playing boardgames, drawing pictures, and sitting and looking at the scenery.

Music, Movies, and Books

Hip-hop and trap are my main choices, and Jacob listens to My Morning Jacket and the Grateful Dead.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've slept overnight on four different roofs at my university, and Jacob has never eaten meat.

Teach, Learn, Share

Movement, cooking (peanut sauce and stir fry), stories, how to break and apple in half with your bare hands. Jacob will be happy to share all the details about how we are going to climb El Capitan, and can help trouble-shoot door hinges that don't close all the way.

What I Can Share with Hosts

One magic trick, stories, Appalachian delights, vegan cookin'. Got something heavy? We are strong boys and pick it up and put it down somewhere else.
