CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world. I want to gain a deeper understanding of other places, domestic and abroad, while increasing my appreciation for home.

ABOUT ME

I'm a doc student who loves to travel, domestically and internationally. I grew up in Maryland, but now live in my sixth state: Oklahoma. *Studying abroad in Norway this school year.* I also play saxophone and love to bake. I have a penchant for geography and love attending theatre and improv comedy.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone has a story to share and I would love to hear yours.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to live in a world where we can trust one another; where the idea of a global community is acted upon. I am on couchsurfing to hasten the realization of this world.

Sadly, my current living arrangement does not allow me to have couchsurfing (it's specifically in my lease). However, I am always down to reciprocate hosting a friend.

Interests

the Eurovision Song Contest, travel, languages (though I am bad at them), geography, music, movies, and baking. I play saxophone, sing, and do improv. I also like theatre, comedy (improv and standup), and milkshakes.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Well, the Eurovision. In addition to that, I like a lot of pop, indie, and rock.

Movies: Pretty much any comic book movie (I can't wait for all the movies coming out this year!). I also particularly enjoy suspense films like Disturbia, Identity, and Gone Girl.

Books: Teen fiction is my guilty pleasure.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Domestic Travel: The Grand Canyon, hands down.
International: Mayan Ruins in Belize

Teach, Learn, Share

I was an academic advisor, so I specialize in coaching folks in the reflection process. I am also a quite knowledgeable about various topics related to psychology. I am quite passionate about Eurovision and love to share my knowledge of it with others.

I would love to learn and strengthen my language abilities.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am able to hold my own on a multitude of topics and love to engage in discussion on just about anything.

Additionally, I love cooking and baking, especially when I get to do so for others.
