About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finish my degree, broaden my horizons

ABOUT ME

I am an Ohio State Buckeye studying Communication and French, in my fourth and final year. Currently trying to figure out post-grad plans.

PHILOSOPHY

The world is a book, and those who do not travel only read the first page.

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backwards. So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's about to shoot you into something great. So just focus, and keep aiming.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My friend and I took a two week cross-country road trip the summer of 2014 and couch surfed the whole way, staying with friends and family for most of the time. We stayed with a couchsurfing.com host for 3 nights while in Yosemite, CA and had a great experience.

Interests

I was raised with an appreciation for the outdoors, and still have a deep love for nature to this day. Forests, oceans, mountains, valleys, wide open spaces, I love it all. I'm also very interested in social justice issues affecting our world, feminism, and growing into a better person.

I also love YouTube beauty gurus, Parks and Recreation, and One Direction (and being unapologetically myself).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went on a trip to Costa Rica with my best friend and twelve other girls when we were 16 years old, where we stayed with a host family, slept in tents on the beach, learned to surf, went white water rafting, zip-lined through the Costa Rican rainforest, and bartered our way through the markets of San José.

I studied abroad in Dijon, France for a semester learning French!
