A young person just working and adventuring. Born in the southern countryside to an unconventional family which leads me to appreciate tradition as well as change. Currently living in Charleston, SC and striving to balance career with spontaneous experiences. Somewhere between introvert and extrovert; I love to meet people, talk, learn, and yet badly need my hermit time.

I'm easy-going and up for new experiences as well as pushing myself out of my comfort zone. I have a deep set appreciation for the natural world, people, and community.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I relish the opportunity to learn from and interact with those I meet along my journey of life. Who better to interact with than locals of places I visit? I value any chance to make a connection with someone, no matter how short the time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This past summer I worked as an intern at a research institute and spontaneously decided to train for and run a half marathon. It's safe to say my run meter is full for the next few years.

Teach, Learn, Share

Ask me about rugby! Willing to share any and all knowledge on cooking, meditation, yoga.

Intellectual/spiritual/thoughtful conversations are always one question away.
