CURRENT MISSION

To explore the hamlets of the United States until I can get abroad again

ABOUT ME

I am a student at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. I joined Couch surfing during my semester abroad in Montpellier in the South of France (a life changing experience!). When I came back from France, I realized how I don't need to be in Europe to have adventures or experience unique cultures. I've made it my mission to savor every piece of Americana I can until I get abroad again!

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing under His control is out of control.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Studying abroad in Montpellier was a period of my life where I was faced with new challenges and adventures every day. The best part of it was that it taught me to see the world in a different way--to make every day an adventure no matter where I am!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a very religious person; my religion grounds me and gives focus to my life. I know what I value: God, my family, my friends--PEOPLE above wealth, material goods, and other "things."

I would love to learn more about how people of different cultures and backgrounds value the world around them!
