Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Survive uni with my soul intact.
ABOUT ME
I'm a 22 year-old student studying biochemistry at the University of Texas at Dallas! Just trying to make it through my last year of college before I sell all my shit, pack a backpack, and do some traveling while I try to figure out what the hell I want to do with my life. Got any recommendations for what I should do or where I should go?
PHILOSOPHY
I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I spent three months couchsurfing on and off in Australia this past summer! And when my uni classes slow down long enough for me to breathe, I am excited to host here in Richardson as well.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I couchsurfed across Australia this past summer and met lots of awesome people from around the world.
Interests
I'm interested in biorenewable energy research as a career, but I want to do a bit of sightseeing and living before I sell my soul to a lifetime of crushing student loan debt and graduate school. Other than that--Art, science, reading and writing, coffeehouses, sushi, boba, happy hour, free WiFi, skimboarding (and now surfing and snowboarding!), kite-flying, beaches, clubbing, cheap bars, philosophy, open-air markets, late-night restaurants, and adventures.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The view from the top of the tallest waterfall in Iguazu Falls, Argentina, was spectacular. On the more metropolitan side of things, returning to my hostel on King's Cross in Sydney at 4 am on a Sunday morning and seeing the street lit up with shops, clubs, and restaurants, with hundreds of glammed-up people milling about... This is why I love cities.
