I'm an older undergrad, 27 working on my bachelor of science in social work. I'm a research assistant in UT's center for behavioral health research and I substitute teach, mostly in CDC classrooms. I love going to live shows, having a beer, sitting by a fire, and talking to/cutting up with friends, but mostly I just study and hang out with my dogs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I got into social work because I love meeting new people and hearing their stories, and I joined couchsurfer with the same thought in mind. I'm generally crazy about new cities and adventures, but mostly I travel to see my little sister now.

Getting accepted at UT is my amazing thing. Never thought I would go to college!
