About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I love meeting new people, learning new things and seeing new places. Life is a gift, embrace it.

ABOUT ME

I have a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Texas at Austin in Engineering & Mathematics. I strongly believe you're going to gain as much from an opportunity as you put into it. Putting myself out there and challenging myself every chance I get has truly helped me grow as a person, changing my life and hopefully the lives of others. I've been described as charismatic, respectful, & ever so clean :)

I love the the uniqueness the city of Austin has to offer! It's truly a hidden gem compared to the rest of Texas and every day I'll find a new discovery in the city. I live for the outdoors, water, photography and experiencing the goodness within people. There is nothing more refreshing than the kind of conversation in which you are prepared to emerge a slightly different person.

PHILOSOPHY

"If something is worth doing, it is worth doing well. If it is worth having, it is worth waiting for. If it is worth attaining, it is worth fighting for. If it is worth experiencing, it is worth putting aside time for." -- Susan Jeffries

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing has reassured me first-hand that, even though we haven't met them yet, there are genuinely good people all around our world, eager to help us more than we can imagine. I've woken up to fresh-baked baguettes & croissants in a Parisian apartment, greeted in Morocco with a traditional Ramadan dinner, Toronto with Dandelion coffee & homemade spirulina pancakes, Turkish tea in Istanbul's business district, & have loved every experience CouchSurfing has opened my eyes to so far. It truly has been life-changing and a blessing I will never forget and continue to cherish & encourage.
