ABOUT ME

I am currently a student at Georgia State University located in Atlanta, GA, studying Hospitality Management, with a goal to go into the tourist industry once I graduate.

Trying to defeat the stereotype of a typical American by leaving the country and experiencing life outside the US borders.
I would like to think of myself as a happy, personable, smiling individual.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I am surfing because I am traveling through May.
Once I return home, I will host :)

Interests

I am passionate about penguins. My ultimate goal in life is to open a penguin rehabilitation center in the Galapagos Islands.
I am a writer. Writing is one of the best ways I express myself and therefore I write often.
I love running or exercise in general. I grew up playing basketball and softball. Once I graduated high school, I picked up running. I have ran a few half-marathons and would love to run a full in the near future.
I am passionate about others. I love meeting new people and learning of their experiences and goals in life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a few months in South Africa working at a penguin rehabilitation center. Yes, there are penguins in South Africa. I have always loved penguins but my passion for their existence derived from this experience. My love shifted from an admiration-love to a conservation-love. They just make me so happy!
