I'm a recent college graduate who's been studying science and education the past 4 years. I love all types of science from physics to ecology: I find it incredibly interesting. When I'm not learning more science, I love hiking, biking, cooking, and nature photography.

I'm open-minded, friendly, full of energy and I excite easily.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I right now I'm looking for a city I should live in. For the first time, I'm not restricted on where I can live because of where I want to go to school. I have several cities I think I would enjoy living in, but I would like to experience them first! Staying with people who have lived in the city will be very helpful in deciding if it is the right place for me.

Music, Movies, and Books

Growing up on it, my first love will always be country music. But I also enjoy Disney and the top hits of today. Since going to college I now enjoy listening to Kpop, Hawaiin, alternative, dance, folk, as well as new music in other languages I don't speak.

I love all Disney movies and generally prefer animated movies. Although on my favorite movies list is Newsies the musical, which is real people. It's still Disney and a musical, so I don't think it really stays from the rest of the favorites: Lilo and Stitch, How to train your Dragon, Tangled, and Zootopia.

TV shows are different though, one of my favorite series is MASH. And I was an avid watcher of NCIS until Ziva left. I'm also down for a Korean or chinses Drama. I like a good anime like Fairy Tale or Avatar the Last Airbender.

If the book is fantasy fiction I'm there. I can bust through a full series in a week if it's really good. I'm a series kind of person and would rather rank my favorite series than books. Alchemist the Immortal Nicolas Flamel, The search for Wandla, The School for Good and Evil, Leven Thumps and the gateway to foo, Artemis Fowl, Septimus Heap, all the Rick Riordan Series and of course Harry Potter.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I made a spur the moment decision to study abroad in New Zealand and it was the best decision I've ever made. I cut it so close, my VISA didn't arrive until the morning of my flight. I think it's a miracle everything was able to work out so perfectly. You should hear the whole story, that's only one of the crazy parts of the whole getting to New Zealand part.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm not sure what is a normal response to this.
I would love to share food and stories together. I love hearing about other peoples adventures and recommendations of things to see. And I've been all over the US and some places abroad, I can do the same in return. I'm a very positive person with a lot of energy, It will likely rub off! And If you would enjoy having someone to go on a hike with or watch a movie, we can both enjoy that.
