CURRENT MISSION

Focusing on the travel in the US. Really want to New England this summer.

ABOUT ME

It's always been hard to talk about myself on these short little message blogs, but if I have to write a short autobiography I guess it would go as follows.
I grew up in Bartlesville, OK. I had a great childhood full of biking, swimming, hanging with friends, and reading great books.
I moved to Russellville, AR when I was 15 years old. Though it was a drastic change at the time, I feel that many good things came about because of it. In high school I was on the swim team. I also sang in choir. I really love music. I also did Debate for a year. I'll talk to anyone about just about any topic.
After high school, I attended the University of Arkansas. I absolutely love the freedom that college gives you! I am an Economics and Spanish major. I feel like I am always studying, but in my free time I like to go to the fitness center, play frisbee, go to cool restaurants, and meet new people.
Currently, I am studying Spanish in Granada, Spain. It is such an awesome city!
And a new chapter unfolds as I'm traveling all around Europe now that my studies in Spain have ended. I have seen amazing things, but more importantly I've met amazing people. Many of them through Couchsurfing!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is good. And while there may be greater things still to come, I feel that it is best to live in the moment. To find something good about each day, and to reflect upon your actions and your beliefs.
