Recent graduate of Arkansas and currently in grad school in CT before beginning the nomadic life. Coming from a family of ten, I love meeting new people, learning about different cultures, and trying every type of food out there. I've spent some time abroad studying in Latin America, Europe, and Africa so now I'm hooked on travel. I want to work in international development after school, get lost in a jungle, and come back having forgotten how to speak English. No I will not be the smartest person in the room but i'm all about having intellectual conversation and learning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To explore this incredible country we have while i'm still young and without too much responsibility. I want to work in public health and development internationally traveling the globe and I see this as the perfect way to connect with real people who love getting to know individuals from different walks of life!

Interests

Good food, being outside, a cup of coffee on the porch to start the morning, and awkward social situations. I also dabble in reading, playing pick up, and just recently started slacklining.

I'm all over the board. Folksy acoustic like Ben Howard to Otis Redding rhythm and blues to Romeo bachata to Tupac. I'm currently on a kick of Nahko and Medicine for the People, Xavier Rudd, and trying to comprehend Kendricks new album.
