CURRENT MISSION

Living and learning in South Africa.

ABOUT ME

I'm a redheaded girl who loves to study and travel. There's nothing I love more than exploring a new place and knowing its people. I love the outdoors, science, yoga, and music.

PHILOSOPHY

Love yourself. It makes life so bright.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf couches and try to be a respectful, fun person to host! I can't host at the moment because I live in university dorms, but plan to in the future.

Interests

Well, I love hiking and backpacking and pretty much anything that brings me outside. I study biology and environmental science, which complements my love for the outdoors. I'm big on sustainability and aim to work in that field.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Diving in the Galapagos - I saw a group of 80 or so black tipped, galapagos and hammerhead sharks pass right in front of me. Swimming and playing underwater with sea lions, being enchanted by the tranquility of sea turtles...

Cotopaxi National Park - We attempted to hike Cotopaxi in Ecuador, and I got sick from altitude sickness, but the view at 2 in the morning, barely being able to breathe, looking at the lights and mountains below from 5100 meters was beautiful.
