I'm a college adviser based out of Kansas City currently in L.A. for the next three days.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet all kinds of people from all walks of life! All about that pay it forward lifestyle too.

Interests

I am an avid hiker and enthusiastic baker. I always have my nose buried in some book or news article and if it was humanely possible to live off of popcorn and nutella (not together) for the rest of my life I definitely would.

Music, Movies, and Books

I've always been a book worm. Some of my favourites include The Book Thief, The Beach (which I'm sure many of you have read as well), the Outlander series and everything by Agatha Christie and JK Rowling.

I love good blue grass music or anything with something I can dance about to. Keep your Country music to yourself though.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was at Barack Obama's Presidential Inauguration in Washington D.C. Seeing so many people so passionate about change and the future had me walking on clouds for weeks afterwards.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am obsessed with learning new languages! I speak English fluently, French conversationally and know a smattering of Korean, Japanese, American sign language, Spanish, Sudanese and Wolof. I'm self-teaching myself Arabic at the moment as well.

I'm always looking to improve and to pick up new phrases!
