ABOUT ME

I'm 22 years old and a second year graduate student in Clinical Psychology. I live in Murray, KY which is extremely boring at time but the people here are unlike anyone I've ever met, so it keeps things interesting. I love photography and making/listening to music - I have a collection of odd instruments to keep me occupied and have recently started beat mashing (I've been pretty busy this year, haha)..

PHILOSOPHY

"I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I cannot transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls."
Anaïs Nin

Well, at this point I've become the person I've always wanted to be. I'm very happy with the woman I've turned into - I'm very open-minded and I'm extremely interested in learning about people and hearing their stories and how they view life. I can't wait to see who I am 20 years from now.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

There's always an open couch at our house (multiple, even!) We've only had one couch surfer so far, but we had a really good experience so we're always up for more visitors. There's not much to do in Murray, but it is the home of Murray State University and we're like 15 minutes from Land Between the Lakes (LBL) which is absolutely gorgeous!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My experience with couch surfing has changed a lot since the beginning of the summer. I've gotten the chance to actually stay with some really cool people and we've hosted quite a few ourselves. My roommates and I are always up for meeting new people and I have yet to have a bad experience!

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I'm a Psychology major with a minor in Women and Gender Studies, so I know a lot about both of these subjects. I know music - I don't know a lot about how to make it, but I do it anyways. It's more like structured noise at the moment but I'm getting somewhere... baby steps. I know a lot about the brain - I'm in a Master of Arts program for Clinical Psychology about to start my second year. I'm a pretty good listener because of this.
