ABOUT ME
I am a graduate from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and currently working on my masters while working as an engineer in Asheville. I love people, adventures, traveling and animals. I'm a sucker for good food, drinks, and good conversation. I consider myself pretty flexible and easy going. I always have a good time where ever I go and find it easy to make friends. I am talkative and outgoing but sometimes a little shy at first. I hope to hike the Appalachian Trail when I can get a break from working. I have driven cross country (twice and LOVED it) to do an internship in California to build rockets for a small space company. I love space and sciency things. I have a warm heart and love meeting new people and hearing about their story or just go explore together.
PHILOSOPHY
Always do your best, and be kind.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Since my parents have moved from my home town, every time I go back to see friends- I couch surf. I would like to expand my couch surfing horizons to other places and am excited about where I could end up.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Drove to California from Florida and back.
I'm also a big science geek and have done two research projects with NASA including a rover and flying in the "vomit commit". I have done two engineering internships, at one I built rockets and the other supported a company who builds jet engines.
Teach, Learn, Share
Although I am young, I have had many experiences in my live that others can benefit from. I am good at Math and Science so I could totally help with homework. I used to tutor math.
