ABOUT ME
Howdy! I'm just a simple, easy going Texas girl that is currently traveling Southeast Asia. I love learning about new cultures and meeting new people. One of my favorite things to do is just to sit down with someone and discuss what they are passionate about whether its sports, languages, music or scientific experiments. I think this is part of what makes me engaging as well as my willingness to open myself up to new experiences. I feel that it’s the little adventures we take in life that we remember the most and that just one simple, unexpected conversation could change our lives.
PHILOSOPHY
"Listen. To live is to be marked. To live is to change, to acquire the words of a story, and that is the only celebration we mortals really know. In perfect stillness, frankly, I've only found sorrow."
- The Poisonwood Bible
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Right now I'm traveling through Southeast Asia and I really love meeting new people who know a lot about their cities or can show me their favorite spot that I could never know of based off of interenet searches. Plus I think its always fun to see your hosts again, if you host me you will alwas be wlecome to stay with me in Texas!!
Interests
I really like to just hang out with my firends with a bottle of wine or a couple of beers. Those nights have turned into some of my fondest memories. Also I enjoy runnin,cooking, watching movies, traveling to new places.
