Hi! I'm a college student on gap year from Atlanta, Georgia exploring my love for life and people. I moved to Hawaii August 2016 and have been working as a server in waikiki. My roommate Margaret and I are traveling to Japan for the month of November. We are hoping to surf some couches in exchange for a connection for you here in Hawaii in addition to where ever else we may live next. I love animals and have been working to shift my everyday diet to stop promoting animal cruelty and promote Eco-consciousness (though I cannot with a clean conscious claim to be vegetarian or vegan- I am quite close). I play guitar, I like ceramics and clay, hiking and being in nature, waterfalls, I love music, making music, singing and harmonizing, and I'm overall just excited to be alive during the time that we are and would like to do some awesome things before I die. Life is a gift and It is in our control to live in such a way to honor its beauty and live for those who can not.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea that this site supports. People from all ages and backgrounds meeting under circumstances that have truly never been possible in past times. The power to meet and connect with total strangers is literally at our fingertips which is super exciting to me, and I want to be a part of it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One day I was serving and had plates in one hand and saved a toddler from falling out of his chair and hitting his head on concrete with the other hand. I felt like a super hero. Sometimes it's the little things haha

I've been in the process of conquering fear of heights, deep open water, the dark, the unknown, stage freight, and many many more.
