About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live.Love.Laugh.Travel:D

ABOUT ME

I love meeting new people! I have been told that I am hilarious and crazy. I think that I am sassy and easy-going. I love to have a good time and laughing is always a must. My first experience traveling abroad was living and teaching English in Thailand after I graduated from college. Since this experience, I have developed an addiction to traveling and want to explore the world!

PHILOSOPHY

I am blessed to be a blessing. If you need it and I have it, then it is yours:D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to help build this community by hosting some travelers and being hosted. UPDATE: I love Couchsurfing! My road trip to the West has exceeded my expectations so much that I am going to start accepting guests in Memphis. It is so nice to feel a part of a global community of kind-hearted people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm happy to say that I have hosted in Philadelphia and will start again in my hometown of Memphis. I'm really eager to host more people and can't wait to be traveling again!

Interests

I am very interested in criminal justice. I work as an intern with the Philadelphia Prison System and enjoy reentry work. I spend most of my time doing whatever it is that I am focused on in the moment. Considering my many interest, this changes quite often :)

Music, Movies, and Books

GREASE!GREASE.GREASE:D

I love all music except rock really. My preference is R&B, gospel, and oldies. I like to listen to good lyrics and a strong voice.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For the sake of time, I'll choose one. Last year I traveled to Vietnam and a part of our trip was to hike up this mountain. I started the journey and then decided that I would go back down and wait on everyone else. As I was going back and forth on doing this, a 56 year old woman comes down and says to me "If I can do it honey, then so can you." So taking this as a challenge, I hiked up this mountain alone and in a dress and finally made it to the top. The others were completely surprised that I hung in there and I was too. But, the thing that was most worth it was the view. It was absolutely breathtaking and a memory that will last a lifetime:)

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyone. We don't have to have the same values and beliefs for me to learn from you. I love people. I grow from my interactions with people:D
