About Me

I am an outgoing woman just trying to make the most out of my life. I graduated from UNC Chapel Hill and am now attending law school! I thoroughly enjoyed my college experience and would not trade it for the world. I also love being in law school, learning how to advocate for people who, otherwise, do not have the means to advocate for themselves. The one thing I have huge passion for is travel and cultural exchange. In my free time, I love reading travel blogs and watching videos about people's experiences when they visit a new place in the world. During Summer 2013, I travelled abroad to Europe, met new people, tried new things, and just enjoyed life.

PHILOSOPHY

Might be cliche, but live your life fully and the way you want to since life is just too short to not do that. We should spend our lives doing the things we love and not the things that are just "most convenient."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Sooooo many to tell! I couchsurfed in London, Paris, Rome, and Prague. All of my experiences were extremely positive, and all of my hosts were amazingly nice, helpful, and showed me the most hospitality I've ever experienced. They all showed me around, took me to really good places to eat, and introduced me to their friends. It was great because I actually got to live like a local while I was staying with them, which is a completely different experience from just being a tourist in the city. It's something I will never forget.

Interests

I enjoy learning about government and and the law. It is my hope to help diminish the inequalities that the people of my country and our world face. And of course, I love to travel! As I mentioned, I like to read travel blogs in my spare time just to see what other people's travel experiences are like.

Other interests: music, movies/films, cooking, dancing (all kinds), fashion, shopping, history, culture.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a movie BUFF! A good movie makes me so happy and I love going to the movies with family and friends. I particularly enjoy action movies - Transformers, Bourne Identity, etc. - but I love pretty much like anything. I'm also an avid reader and enjoy a good book, especially books detailing real life stories and experiences. As for music, my favorite genre is R&B but I listen to all types of music as well!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been to Disney World in Florida in the U.S. around 15 times! I've also been to the Grand Canyon (one of the natural wonders of the world) and awesome cities like Las Vegas and New York.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to be taught/learn different languages, cultural traditions, recipes, and ways around the cities of the world! And, of course, I can also share things/stories about my culture and life!

What I Can Share with Hosts

As I mentioned, I can share aspects about my culture (African-American) like traditions, recipes, music, etc.
