I love quotes & adventures are my favorite. I’m about as much of a people person as it comes. I'm studying Journalism & Public Relations at Samford University. I love traveling, scuba diving, iced coffee with cream and no sugar, singer/songwriter music, writing letters, sailing, my daddy’s sweatshirts, bojangles sweet tea, my family & friends, the parent trap, hiking, taking pictures, young life, mexican food, flannel button-downs, the list goes on. I love Jesus deeply but not perfectly. I’ll wake up early for a sunrise any day of the week. I have lots of opinions. I’m learning how to play the guitar & I love it a lot. I’ve been to Haiti three times in the past year and I want to live there one day. Camp Seafarer is where I belong. Simple is always best. And I love people — did I already mention that?

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

Because I love to travel, but traveling on a student budget is super difficult. Plus, the bonus of meeting new people when I travel is the best!

Algo increíble que he hecho

I just had the most incredible opportunity to live on an 88 foot traditionally rigged sailboat for four months in the Caribbean. I took college courses, learned in-depth sailing, racing, and navigational strategies, and explored 12 countries and even more islands between the British Virgin Islands and Grenada.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I've taught english in Port-au-Prince, Haiti and sailing at Camp Seafarer for Girls. I'm an elementary education minor and hope to pursue teaching full time in Haiti at some point in my life.
