2021: I recently completed graduate school and will begin working as a therapist in Summer of 2021. I plan to host and surf this year as I really enjoy meeting new people through this community. I tend to be a low key individual... go out for a couple drinks some evenings but I'm not much of a partier these days and I enjoy a calm and peaceful home environment.

2017: I am studying Psychology at Loyola University New Orleans. I think couch surfing is a such a beautiful concept because it provides a nice and hassle free way to get to know locals and people from other places. To me that's one of the best parts of traveling and meeting people from different places. Excited to experience it! I'm someone who likes to be around people and have both goofy or intellectual conversation but I can also be comfortable in silence with others and myself. Singing is one of my passions and I'm learning to play guitar, if anyone wants to jam :) I make sure to respect all spaces so I do my best to keep clean and orderly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet locals when I’m traveling to a new place. I hope to hear about any cool nature spots, local bars, music venues, bookstores, libraries, etc... places that are off the beaten path. I am also quite frugal with most things, so looking to save money too :)

I don't spend much time watching movies but I enjoy movies that make me think about the human condition! I also just love watching a skilled actor, even if the movie ain’t that good 😂 Throw movie suggestions at me anytime!

I like stories that pull you in by painting a detailed picture. I enjoy reading from philosophers, psychologists, activists, criminals... anything that gets you really involved in someone else’s reality’s

and lastly, I love hearing people talk about their passions. Whether or not I get into it too, if you’ve got a passionate interest, I wanna know about it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacked around Eastern Europe. Tell me about places further east!

Teach, Learn, Share

I hope to have good conversation during my stay where we both learn from each other. About academics, about culture, about nonsense, and about life! To me disagreeing can be more beneficial than agreeing with someone, because you can learn a new perspective!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Vocals, smiles, laughs, compassion. I like to listen, so you'll have my attention! I can be soft spoken and need alone time (especially if sleepy) but I love to socialize when I can.

Countries I’ve Visited
