ABOUT ME

I am a geology student at the University of Arkansas. I really enjoy hiking, camping, and going to the river. I do not drink or use drugs, but I do not mind being around it at all, and am not judgmental of people who do. I am a very socially liberal person and enjoy spending time with people from all walks of life. I think I am an easy person to get along with, and I find almost all people to be interesting in one way or another. I am also a very extraverted and talkative person.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that everyone deserves a fair and equal chance at a happy and successful life. I think that hatred stems from ignorance, and that only patience, compassion, and fair and logical discourse can bring a positive change in the world. I also think that the most important idea to keep with you is to not take anything personally, and to accept and appreciate criticism from others as a way to improve yourself and the world around you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To have once in a lifetime run-ins with strangers from around the world.

Interests

I am very interested in nature, that is why I am a geology major. I really love being outside (as most people do) and I can't wait to explore the world. I like to cook, especially for others. I am also very interested in geography, history, ethics and politics.
