About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get my PhD

ABOUT ME

I am a first year materials science and engineering PhD student at Georgia Tech. I love to hike, explore, travel and eat! I am open to meeting new people and doing new things! It has always been a dream of mine to travel the world, but, due to monetary issues, I have not been able to =[. Once I graduate , however, I plan on traveling to many places and expanding my view on the world and all of her people!

I grew up in San Diego, CA and love the ocean. My favorite thing to do is swim alone out past the waves and stare out into the horizon. Also the dolphins in SD are super friendly!

I love to cook for people and I love to be outdoors in the wilderness no matter the landscape or company.

PHILOSOPHY

To live happily and surrounded by loved ones.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have yet to host. If you're near Atlanta, maybe I can host you! I hope to become actively involved and help people with their journeys across the world!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I Surfed in the DC Area earlier this year! It was fun!

Interests

I am interested in singing! It is my number 1 passion in life. I am very interested in women's rights and women's health. I am an engineering student. Materials are an interest of mine because they are everywhere and everything. I am also interested in having fun! I love to ski, hike, surf, swim, shop, eat, cook, and hang out with friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked Mount Whitney in 14 hours. Best and Worst thing I have ever done. Let's just say I had "Caress me down" by Sublime stuck in my head for the last 3 hours.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share what I find interesting about current Materials Chemistry and Engineering and how it relates to our everyday lives. I can share my gift of song and hopefully sing along with others! I very much enjoy hearing people sing. And I can share my favorite fun adventure spots in Southern California (hint: BEST BEACHES)

I would love to learn culture, language, art, music, lifestyle, clothing, food, cooking, beer, sophistication, intelligence and love.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you decide to host me I can share happiness and sweet dance moves.
