CURRENT MISSION

to relish the journey, not just the destination

ABOUT ME

My heart lives within many different cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

"Science tells me God must exist.
My mind tells me I will never understand God.
And my heart tells me I am not meant to."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I travel, I want to get to know a city like a friend. I want to visit the local hotspots, not just the tourist attractions--that's what really gives a city its character. Some great places I've couchsurfed in have been Montreal, Memphis, and Asheville. There are still more great places to discover!
For any couchsurfers who come through Athens, I want to make sure they have the same kind of experience I'd want in another city. I want to show them what is special and unique about Athens, so get ready to dive into our local treasures.
