About Me

CURRENT MISSION

prove i will never turn into my mother! muahahaha

ABOUT ME

Recently graduated from the University of South Carolina. Used to dance a lot but have unfortunately had too much work this past year for many hobbies. In July, I am going to work at a children's home in Tegucigalpa Honduaras and if all goes as planned I will be applying to grad school soon. Hopefully I'll get a taste of the world before heading back to academia.

PHILOSOPHY

We're all in this together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I convince my roommate to let people surf at our house and I try to go see theirs!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

so far I've only met up with Jamie and shown him a little of Columbia, but haven't surfed at anyone's house just yet.

I've done some non CS bumming around though. I'm going to have to say NY was pretty amazing and there is no place like it in the South. I loved San Francisco and the people in Berkeley were some of the nicest I've ever met. I recently stayed in a hostel on South Beach Miami and had an incredible time partying and enjoying the sun. New Orleans was of course an awesome party for the Saints this January. Apparently, I pretty much just love seeing any new place and want to see yours!

Interests

meteor showers. waterfalls. desert sunsets. ocean sunrises. Buildings that are so tall you can't see the top of them. caves. doing things, not buying things. people of all sorts. acrobats and street dancers. masterful graffiti. twizzlers candy. intense live drumming.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
