ABOUT ME

Found at the Florida State Fair a few years ago, a small placard with my name on it (a rare encounter), provides what I think is a pretty accurate description:
Highly opinionated, this girl is a good mix of saucy and sweet;
Always on the run, she is hard to keep up with;
A quick mind and a love for adventure;
She sometimes leads her peers into mischief;
An exuberant child, a bright, spontaneous woman.

Of course, still a generality, so I wouldn't take it too literally. If you want to know more about me, ask my best friend, Falon Blessing, she is also my roommate so we host couch surfers together. You can find her profile in the Couch Surfing website, and will more likely go through her to coordinate stays.

Interests

I am a student, so I spend most of my time studying and in class. In my free time, I love sports and spend a lot of time running or playing soccer. I also love to travel, so any chance I get I am planning a trip somewhere new or at least in search of a local adventure.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So many unique experiences traveling have left me awestruck. Most of them involve impressive man-made architecture (big city bridges, basilica or cathedrals, memorial sites, etc.) or naturally impressive architecture like cliffs in Ireland or mountain ranges in the U.S.

Interactions with new communities in new cultures have also left me awestruck. One instance was in Spain last summer, when our travel coincided with the JMJ, a catholic pilgrimage which culminated in the visit of Pope Benedict to Madrid. Being in Madrid at the time, we saw the city crowd with thousands of people from countries all over the world within a few days. Everywhere in the city, you could hear people singing and chanting, and groups would dance in subway stations and in big city plazas. It was a really unique experience to feel the energy and see so many diverse people communicate and share something in common.
To me it was like proof that we can all find common ground in something, and my experience with couch surfing so far has proven that too.
