CURRENT MISSION

To become a renaissance woman.

ABOUT ME

I was born in Houston, TX, my family relocated to the Chi, IL when I was 7. I grew up there until the ripe young age of 20 and then split to Pittsburgh for school. I relocated to Seattle 7 years ago. Other than that its just stories that I love to trade. But a couple of things do always hold true about me:

I'm not a wallflower or good at being quiet.

Favorite procrastination measure: Dancing in my room to politically questionable popular hiphop.

I will stop mid-sentence to react to a song.

I would rather say a lot of wrong things and get corrected than live silently ignorant.

I've been pretty good at not letting myself get in the way of living my life.

PHILOSOPHY

Trying to live my life as a good person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In New Orleans I slept in a bed with me and two other friends, of which one of us was 6'3, for about 5 days, in a house the person was moving out of. So I consider myself a veteran.
