About Me

CURRENT MISSION

first andforemost to finish Grad school while meeting as many people and learning/seeing/visiting as much as possible along the way

ABOUT ME

Although most of my life is consumed by school (for the next 2 years at least) I try to work out nearly everyday. I love to salsa dance, run, bike, swim, triathlons, rock climb, camp ect. I love learning new languages and about new cultures, meeting new people and traveling... I also really love to dance, salsa is my passion but I'm always up for learning more! Oh and I have a pig and a cat so if you have allergies, my house is not the one for you, but id love to meet up for coffee...

PHILOSOPHY

Try to find the balance of enjoying the moment and planning for the future, flying by the seat of my pants and over planning every minute detail... theres a balance there somewhere and I'm going to find it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in North Charleston a 15-20 min drive from the heart of Charleston so if you're coming to go downtown either be ready to walk ~1 mile to the bus stop or have a car... I have 2 sofas one that makes people less than 5'6'' happy and one that is for the taller people...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have not had the oppurtunity to be a surfer yet (time and money are tight as a student) but I have had all wonderful experiences with surfers coming to stay... I hope to be able to surf while I am in France visiting for 2 weeks at the end of Dec/beg of Jan.

Interests

Languages, dancing, coral reefs, decreasing my ecological footprint(yes if you come you MUST recycle) anything outside, medicine, really I could go on forever...
