Hey! I am a college student in Missouri who LOVES to travel. I've traveling to South America, the Galápagos Islands and through the United States.

I really love CouchSurfing because the community is extremely laid back and open to new people. Hosting someone in your home is a big deal for both parties. As a college student who currently lives on campus, I've not had the pleasure of hosting anyone but I plan to host people when I get my own space off campus.

I am studying Spanish Translation and possibly getting my minor in Business. I really enjoy being a student, and not just in school but in general. I love to learn new things!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to be a part of a community in which people exchange friendship and learn about different walks of life.

Couchsurfing seems to be a rather large family of people who all have the same love for traveling and hosting, and I am happy to be associated with this community.

Interests

I am an active member of the Beekeeping club at my campus. I haven't learned much yet but I'm excited to explore the wonderful world of bees.

I am a Resident Assistant as well, and I serve 39 students at the moment. I love my job and I consider it to be an interest because I'm passionate about residence life.

I am also learning how to garden at a local community garden here in Springfield, Missouri.

Music, Movies, and Books

Any live music has my attention. When a human being is willing to pour out a piece of their talent and soul in front of other people, it is an amazing thing. I feel it is a true pleasure to be in the presence of live music.

I enjoy reading David Baldacci books, because of the loong drawn out suspense. However I love a good Nicholas Sparks book now and then. What can I say, I'm a dreamer.

My favorite movies include:
Honestly any Disney movie
All of the Harry Potter movies
Shawshank Redemption
Law Abiding Citizen
American Gangster

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I jumped out of a perfectly good airplane with a beautiful view of the ocean.

Teach, Learn, Share

Languages are my thing. I am passionate about learning about other languages and what makes a language unique. In general, people amaze me and everyone's different stories are never boring. I love to hear people share their life stories and I enjoy sharing my life story.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer hosts respect, courtesy and kindness. I understand that hosting someone isn't to be taken lightly and I am most gracious to anyone willing to host new people all of the time.

I consider myself to be a funny person so I'm always good for a laugh or two, or three.

The most important thing I have to offer any host is my promise to treat their home how they would like their home to treated. I have no intention of making enemies on couchsurfing, only friends.
