I believe the greatest way to learn about yourself and grow is to learn about others!

Born and raised in Tallahassee, FL, USA. Full time student at Florida State University. Part-Time Software Developer. While I spend most of my time split between school and work, I still manage to find time to go to the gym, play soccer, rock climb (mostly indoors), and swing dance. I usually choose to take classes and work in the summer months, so I don't take extended trips often, but every couple months, swing dance takes me to many different places around the Southeast United States for a few days.

I am very laid back, low maintenance, and independent, but I also love meeting new people and making new friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To learn! I do enjoy traveling when I get the chance, but I enjoy my travels much more when I have the opportunity to meet new people and engage in each others' stories. I believe that's the best way to learn. I'd love to know where you're from, how you made it to where you are now, and where you plan on going from here :)

Interests

There truly is no limit to my list of interests, but here is an extended description of a few...

Theater: Acting was an important part of my life in high school. My most memorable role was Nick Bottom in A Midsummer Night's Dream. Even though I don't have the time to participate in shows anymore, I still try to make it to the Theater when I can.

Swing Dancing: I've been dancing Swing with the FSU Swing Dance Club for almost 2 years now. I often travel around the Southeastern United States for various Swing Dance workshops and exchanges.

Classical Music & Singing: Music is a huge part of my life. I took piano lessons for 8 years growing up. One of my biggest regrets is that I stopped playing piano is play sports. My high school's theater director encouraged my to take up voice lessons so that I might pursue Musical Theater, but when I started singing classically, I fell in love with it and continued to do that instead. I've been classically trained for almost exactly 4 years.

Soccer: While I truly love all sports (I'll even enjoy watching Dressage during the Olympics), soccer is the only sport I have played consistently throughout my life. I would not consider myself a soccer star by any means, but I will occasionally have shining moments on the pitch.

Rock Climbing: I've casually enjoyed indoor bouldering for 3 or 4 years, but in the past few months, I've been enjoying indoor top roping and outdoor bouldering.
