CURRENT MISSION

To broaden my horizons and touch the souls and spirits of as many people as possible. I want to learn something new every day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The only time I have couchsurfed was in Kerala in India. I was volunteering with two friends and we took a small trip. While staying with our host we went to a restaurant with puffy rice, we went to the zoo and a Hindi film. It was really enjoyable and I felt most welcome.

Interests

I love arts and crafts. I have made a few books through bookbinding and I like to read. I very much enjoy the outdoors, with company, and will always welcome a new activity.

Music, Movies, and Books

I pretty much like soulful music, jazz, Rihanna and Janelle Monae. My favorites are Magnolia, Finding Nemo, Big Fish, Up, Selma, Inside Out.
My favorite books are The Moviegoer, Out of the Dust, and Stargirl.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled through China for 17 days by myself. I spent Christmas Day on The Great Wall.
I studied abroad in Ghana during undergraduate. While there I taught Creative Arts to students in grades 1-3.

I am now completing my internship on Chicago's Southside along with pursuing my Master's degree full time.

Teach, Learn, Share

Be the interruption to injustices around you.
Wherever you are, be there for your community.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am 27.
I have done many things and traveled far and wide - yet I am always open to learning something new. I keep my mind as open as prairie skies (which I hope to see someday.)
