CURRENT MISSION

In every way. Learning more of myself by seeing the world one country at a time by taking risks and to stop planning for the future and living in the moment. Being eccentric and not looking back.

ABOUT ME

My life changed when I studied abroad in Barcelona, Spain. I had never been to Europe, I had hardly been out of the country. I was in a bubble, but I didn't even realize it until I went abroad. Now I know how small and minute my life was.

I have the travel bug. I am obsessed with trying new things and I find excitement in meeting new people and exploring new cultures, lives and languages. I am not intimidated by being out of my comfort zone. I want to start living life more fully since I had let myself be restricted by boundaries and rules in the past.

I think of myself as outgoing and friendly but I also am personable. i genuinely care about building friendships with new people and understanding different walks of life whether it be religion or customs. I have my personal beliefs and morals that I take great pride in but I don't let that influence my mind set or narrow my understandings of people. I love learning new things as well as trying new things. But don't let that fool you, I am a free spirit at heart but I am also very motivated and determined. I am professionally very driven and take great pride in my academic and professional success or even failure.
I use to play soccer, even until my sophomore year of college. I am an avid follower of the Premier League as well as La Liga. I am most recently dabbling into photography and have just begun photography classes. I am currently a Journalism major, hoping to specialize in Broadcast Journalism and I have such a desire to live abroad.

PHILOSOPHY

I really believe everything happens for a reason and I take every low moment in life as a chance to grow. No regrets and take chances. I love the quote: "Do something everyday that scares you" I try to never let my fears keep me from doing something.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I am not able to have someone stay on my couch but I can't wait to participate in the future when I have a place to live in BA!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never had any experience! However, the reason I ebcame so intrigued with CS is because a friend of a friend I met abroad raved about her experience participating. That is what led me to sign up. What do I have to lose? What do i have to gain? I think the latter outweighs the first. I lived with a host family when I studied abroad and I absolutely loved being able to live with natives and experience the culture on an entirely different level. This is what I hope to gain.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Amazing thing done/seen: I ran with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain during the festival of San Fermin. Biggest rush of my life. During the stay Spain also won the World Cup which was absolutely amazing to experience and celebrate such a historic and greatly deserved win.

教，学，和分享

I come from a conservative family in Texas. I live on acreage and some might see me as a little country, given my background. But I think what i bring is that while my past life may have been a bit sheltered, I am focused on broadening my views and I have my distinct opinions on the world but I also am open to learning in every way. I love being able to participate in outdoor activities, I love art in all forms: architecture, nature, paintings, museums, photography. I love writing such as poetry, philosophical quotes and novels. I want to teach people to not care of what others think and staying true to yourself. I want to build people up and help them embrace who they are and love it.
