CURRENT MISSION

“To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other, and to feel.”

I'm all about building bridges and connecting with the world.

ABOUT ME

Just graduated from Utah Valley University, with a Bachelors in Behavioral Science / Psychology. I was heavily involved with the Interfaith Club, and absolutely LOVE getting to know people from other cultures, faiths (whether religious, spiritual, no-particular faith tradition, or secular), and locations.

I'm a budding author (Sci-Fi and Fantasy), musician (Piano, EDM, vocals, symphonic), and Counselor/Chaplain (someday.... I'll make it to that goal!).

I've been blessed with the ability to travel around the world a little bit for both work and service. I have loved the interactions I've had with a variety of people from each of these locations, and they have all made me a better person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope to have my own place in the near future so I can host visitors from around the world. I loved getting to host Exchange Students with my family when I was younger, and I want to keep giving back.

I also look forward to getting to spend time with interesting people that I probably wouldn't meet otherwise!

Interests

Running (Ragnar Relay!), Hiking, Writing, Movies (LotR, Harry Potter, the Matrix, Inception), Anime (particularly Sword Art Online, Guilty Crown, Guren Laggan, Full-Metal Alchemist, and Moribito), Cooking (mostly baking desserts I guess, but I do make some mean dinner dishes as well).

Music is one of my biggest passions! Though I was kind of forced to sing (definitely against my will) as a child, I was instilled with a love of music that has grown A LOT over the years. I'll have my own album out sometime in the near future :)
