I love adventures! After finishing college, I lived in Beijing, China for two years, where I began teaching English and ended up working for an international translation and localization company. After that, I returned to Arkansas for three years, where I ran the student services for an intensive English program at the University of Arkansas. Currently, I am living in Oxford, England, where I am pursuing a master's degree in International Business and Intercultural Communication.

I believe that travel is one of the best ways to create flexible, open-minded individuals. I enjoy meeting new people and learning more about the world through diverse experiences. I am easy-going, responsible, and respectful of others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am new to this couch-surfing thing, but I decided to give it a try after hearing about so many of my friend's positive experiences. I love the idea of staying with locals while I travel. I am on couch surfing to meet new people and experience what local life is like.
