I'm a graduate student and work full-time as an event coordinator for my school. I plan big conferences and am also a part-time writer. I love cultures, photography, coffee, local businesses, reading, and writing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had the opportunity to travel Europe because of Couchsurfing and had a wonderful experience! I want to be able to provide a place for people when I can, though my schedule is super busy. It's been great to meet people through this network and I hope to continue in that!

Interests

I love learning, having deep and meaningful conversations. I love third wave coffee and explore coffee shops in my own city and any city I visit. I am an avid reader, including everything from fiction to philosophy, I love writing and hope to pursue it. I love beautiful things and enjoy making my home a welcoming environment for all who come in.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love so many kinds of music, but especially indie-style music. My current favorites are Ben Howard, The Lone Bellow, Penny and Sparrow, Phoebe Bridges, and many more.

I will watch many kinds of movies, but I especially like ones such as Pride & Prejudice, Fury, Good Will Hunting, The Kingdom, A Time to Kill, and Hot Rod.

I love classic fiction and philosophical writings. My favorite authors and books include Dietrich Bonhoeffer, C.S. Lewis, Oscar Wilde, Jane Austen, John Steinbeck, and Marilynne Robinson.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in India for 4 1/2 months twice since I've been in college!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching about hospitality when I can, coffee, and I love helping people with their writing. I love learning the best parts of a city, especially my own!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a grateful heart for the hospitality shown to me, and I can also offer conversation about the cultures that I have experienced while wanting to know much about the culture of the one hosting me. I am low maintenance and usually travel with a friend.
