I began life in deserts of the Southwest United States. My father had a creative mind and a skillful hand at design from his schooling in Architecture. Therefore, I grew up drawing . . . and never stopped. I was gifted the ever incurable itch to travel and explore. I have visited many countries around the world. I have also studied in a handful of them in a couple of study abroad programs. In between, before, and on the side of school years, I have gathered professional experience in a variety of trades. Other than working, I have also volunteered for several organizations. Most recently, after graduating with my Landscape Architecture degree, I traveled to Ghana, West Africa, to aid in designing and building a school and the school grounds. I now live in Detroit as of Jan. 2016.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Reason 1 - As many people know, American Universities are not cheap.
Reason 2 - It is a great opportunity to meet fun new people.
Reason 3 - When exploring a new place, its nice to get some background or have conversations with a local.
