Hello! I am twenty-seven years old and a graduate of the University of Missouri (Mizzou). I earned my Bachelors in Social Work with a Minor in Public Service and Leadership. From 2015-2017, I was living in Senegal, West Africa as a Peace Corps volunteer, working with the people in the village of Saare Goundo to increase their vegetable production and hold trainings which relayed research done in Senegal on sustainable gardening/farming techniques. I moved to Shenzhen, China in 2018 to continue my life abroad, teach English and begin learning some Mandarin! I am now on the move and traveling through SE Asia and Australia for the next 5 months.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new and interesting people and learning about their life experiences. No better way to do that than couchsurfing! Plus so many insider tips and the ability to live like a local.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Basically everything! I love world music stations but grew up listening to a lot of 70's and 80's rock and roll which will always be my favorite.

Books: I am currently reading Michelle Obama's book, Becoming, and can hardly put it down.

Movies: I'm not a huge movie buff. I like a lot of tv series though. Parks and Rec is definitely one of the best shows out there.
