CURRENT MISSION

To get back on my feet. I have taken 4 semesters off from college and have done poorly maintaining a job so right now I am in survival stage. Especially, since I have finally moved out and am living on my own dime.

PHILOSOPHY

To live your life to the fullest and to always make something out of nothing! Don't be afraid to try and experience new things because if we are afraid of the future or the unknown; we will never progress ourselves into a new, improved lifestyle.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to attend as many social gatherings that Knoxville Couchsurfing has to offer. And am in a big transitional stage since I am no longer in school so a lot is up in the air plan wise.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted some amazing people while living away from home. 2 different times my guests helped me attend highly academic and scientific conferences that I absolutely enjoyed, enjoyed some fabulous parties, hiked around Ijams Nature Center with an amazing friend, and always dine in such wonderful company!

And most fun of all, I booked a ticket with Megabus to DC with no couch to surf and toured DC in the meantime with no worries.

Interests

I love traveling and meeting people from different countries, sports, hiking, climbing, skiing, but am flexible enough to do a lot of stuff; especially outside. Night running has been an obsession for quite some time because there is nothing like it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to any genre of music with Jack Johnson as my new favorite artist. Techno is fun to listen, Indie Rock is one of my favorite genres.

Favorite movies are the Bourne Series, Transporter, Transformers, Kung fu Panda, Charlie Bartlett, The Help, Wreck-it-Ralph and a whole lot more.

Absolutely love John Grisham books, read The Hardy Boys like crazy growing up--if they had a different last name the book series would be going crazy because the books were incredible(granted I was in middle school), the Bible, anything political, psychological, and beneficial to human health and society.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked a trail in the Smokies from 10 pm to 4 am in the morning for a campus fundraiser. I brought my Vuvuzela and blew with all my might and received an echo a few seconds later. It was a very sentimental moment for me but was "a you have to be there kind of moment" to really understand how awesome it was. But the fun didn't stop there! During our hike, there was a break in the treeline and the skies were littered with stars and it was such a surprise. I have never seen such splendor and beauty in my life!
