CURRENT PHILOSOPHY

My mission is to become the best version of myself. I want to expand my mindset to accept and love the world as it is: in it's brokenness and wholeness. I try to always have an open mind and learn about the various ways that others try to find peace and happiness in life.

ABOUT ME

I try to live, laugh, and love a lot. My favorite color is green (but sometimes blue), and I love mango more than any other food. I am very independent and self-driven. I enjoy reading, scuba diving, random dreaming, cooking, playing the flute, and dancing.

I'm currently studying Asian Studies (w/a concentration in South Asia), Business, and Creative Writing as an undergraduate at UNC Chapel Hill. I grew up in Georgia and have lived in the South most of my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am brand new to couch surfing and I am still trying to figure it all out! I'm looking forward to having new adventures and building new connections with people.

Interests

I love traveling (duh - why else would I be on couchsurfing?!). I also love introspective thinking, running, hanging out with friends, working hard to achieve goals, relaxing with a glass of wine, swimming, and dancing.

My favorite book? The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I watched the sunrise from a rooftop restrant in Agra, India. There were wild monkeys playing on the rooftop next to me and the sun came up to reveal the peaceful sight of the Taj Mahal, left behind by the Mughal Empire. Truly a wonderful experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can play the flute! And I have a few dance moves up my sleave that I can pass along to anyone who wants to learn. I can share all of my traveling experiences and I can tell you anything you want to know about life in Raleigh/Chapel Hill/Durham and Atlanta, GA.
