About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Visit all 7 or 6,,, continents within a year

ABOUT ME

Eager to learn and experience new things, places, and even people. But most importantly, FOOD!

I don't feel like writing sentences after writing in class all year long, so hopefully short words and phrases will suffice in describing me.

southern
super polite
generous
spur-of-the-moment
optimistic
random
silly
adventurous
outdoorsy
foodie

PHILOSOPHY

Live for the moment, but don't forget you're also sharing the earth with other people.

Be optimistic. Be courteous. Be ready to learn.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Toe first and if the water is right, I would like to dive straight in!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Amazing!

Interests

I'm interested in cultures, traveling, public health, history, and food. Generally not in that order since food frequently comes first.

  • writing
  • dining
  • cooking
  • flying
  • traveling
  • juggling
  • history

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Done: Swam with sharks in San Pedro. Swam into a bed of sea urchins in Mombasa.
Seen: Yellowstone has got to be the best place on earth.
Experienced: changes constantly

Want to do: Learn how to fly planes
Want to see: Magical places, but right now I'm obsessing about Antarctica.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm currently teaching myself how to juggle. If you can teach me, that would be even better!

Also, I can teach you how to cook gourmet food and bake wonderful delicious goodies. Just don't ask me to show you how to make cookies or brownies, mine always turn out to be cakies. Perhaps you can teach me.

I can teach you to pick things up with your toes. I'm quite a pro at it. :)

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Belize, Canada, France, Italy, Kenya, Netherlands, Spain, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In

Uganda, United States, Viet Nam
