About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the world from a "local's" perspective.

ABOUT ME

I am a 25 year old college student getting ready to graduate from my master's program and not quite ready to enter the "real world." I want to spend some time traveling and seeing the rest of the world before I settle down. I am a very laid back person who gets along with anyone. I love the outdoors and I love adventure which is why I plan to travel. I tend to be sarcastic which is my sense of humor but nothing too over the top. I can not wait to finish school so I can pick up and start my travels. Throughout college I have seen some cool places in the US but am ready to venture outside the border for a bit.

I would say I am a very upbeat person down for anything fun (and somewhat safe). I have been told that I smile a lot and am never in a bad mood which I guess is a good thing.

I will eventually settle down into a teaching position somewhere when I am ready because I love working with kids and know that this world needs better teachers out there, which I will hopefully help with.

PHILOSOPHY

To live my life to the fullest and travel as much as I can while I am still able.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Both hosted and surfed in Australia and hosted here in Kentucky

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have both hosted and surfed and it has been such an amazing experience everytime. I love the type of people this website brings together.

Interests

Anything outdoors - swimming, camping, hiking, soccer, running, scuba diving, sight seeing. Photography is also a new big hobby of mine. Just bought my first DSLR and love it. I am also a very social person that likes hanging out, going out to the bar, and just having a good time with the people I am with at that moment.

I love listening to other people's stories that they have and learning from their experiences. Meeting new people is always fun and if they can make you laugh it's always better.

Music, Movies, and Books

All types of music - country, rock, pop, folk. I love the Beatles. Any movies that make you laugh. I like suspense books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-Drove across the country from Kentucky to California and back seeing the sights.

-Backpacked around Australia and Thailand for 13 months. Met the most amazing people and saw and did the most amazing things.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well as for special skills...I am really good at math does that count? I tend to be a pretty comedic person who is not afraid to embarrass myself for a good laugh. I can promise I will put a smile on your face at one point or another if I stay with you.
