About Me

I recently graduated college in Virginia with a degree in literature. I have a ceaseless desire to travel and intend to see as much of the world as possible.

I went to Greece in ’14, and it was one of the most enlightening and magnificent experiences of my life.

I love writing stories and poetry. I am frequently tempted to learn a different language just so I can read a work in its original language…if only my brain was good with languages.

I intend to go back for a master’s degree at some point in the near-ish future, but a long trip to Europe is a little higher on my list right now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a recent graduate...I'm broke and still paying off loans. But my desire to travel is too big to let that stop me. Also, I love meeting people. I'm a writer and view all people not only as, well, people but also as potential characters.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music from the Romantic period, specifically Chopin and Schubert. I also love folksy music and sometime nice hard rock.

As far as books: The Bible, Crime and Punishment, East of Eden, Our Mutual Friend, Les Miserables, The Count of Monte Cristo, Gilead, lots of other books...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I wandered through a small town in Greece to find the Mediterranean and looked at the stars while floating in the cool water.
