CURRENT MISSION

My desire is to inspire

ABOUT ME

Recent graduate from the University of Georgia seeking to inspire desire in others and to travel as far and as widely as I possibly can.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is made up of a pile of good things and a pile of bad things. As long as the pile of good ultimately outweighs the pile of bad, then things won't have been too bad.

There will come times when We smile, we laugh and we do the same for others "because every time you see them happy you remember how sad they're going to be. And it breaks your heart. Because what's the point in them being happy now if they're going to be sad later. The answer is, of course, because they are going to be sad later." -Doctor Who

"The faster you run, the slower time passes, the longer you live."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed on friends' couches unofficially and on one couch in France officially.

Interests

Passions | there are many

Acting, meeting new people, talking to interesting people and story telling*. By that last one I am not referring to sitting around a campfire or reading bed time stories (all of which I have done and am not opposed to doing) but rather that I enjoy human interaction–learning about others and sharing our similarities as well as our differences. Too often we find ourselves caught up in what I like to call "middle conversation: surface level interaction that one could gather by going to Google and typing a name in. I prefer "fun zone" and "deep zone" conversation–conversation that challenges me to learn about someone else and in return share with them something about myself. Don't understand? Let's sit down and talk!

Dreams in Life | too many to count, but none are unfeasible

I can say with certain uncertainty that I have multiple dreams every night, so why can't I have multiple dreams in life? I dream of traveling, of new foods, new faces, new smells and new adventures. I dream of loving my career, not my job. Dreams are naive, whimsical and sensational–but I say that no one great had ordinary dreams.
