I am a 23yr old girl from the southern USA. I love to travel the world (usually solo) and learn because I think that the world we live in is overrun by the media and I love to experience new things and be able to formulate my own opinions. I want to be able to speak from experience and leave a positive effect on each place that I visit. Finally, I want to be able to meet different people all around the world because I truly believe that it opens up my perceptions and helps me to better understand that although we are different, we have so much in common and there is only more to be discovered.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that the best part of traveling is connecting with others whether they be locals or others travelers. I want to spend genuine time with people, exchanging cultures and breaking down barriers.

Music, Movies, and Books

I WILL listen to anything and bob my head to it. It's hard to go wrong with the freedom of music. However, right now I'm listening to French r&b, latin hits, and islamic music (post ramadan vibes). I can dance to almost anything tbh. I don't read much because I truly think forced reading in high school took the desire of pleasure reading away. I love watching movies, especially Marvel/DC. Iron man/The Flash are my favorite superheroes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took a last minute weekend trip to France with no money and I had an amazing time and didn't spend a dime. Traveling on a budget is my specialty. Another amazing thing is that I volunteered at the Men's World Cup in Russia and the Women's one in France. That's more than one but who's counting?

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to improve French/Arabic and I am totally up for helping other improve English or Spanish. I want to also learn about people and their homes. I want to share my lived experiences and talk to others who want to share theirs.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking! As a college student, I've started to have to cook for myself and I'm not so bad if I may say so myself. I also love talking and finding hidden gems in new cities.
