About Me

I am the kind of person that lives life one adventure at a time. I'm currently studying abroad in Lithuania, although at home I am a junior Taylor University studying Developmental Economics. I love exploring, good food, and getting to know others for who they are. I am super determined and always up for a new adventure. I tend to be easy going and easy to live with as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to be more than just a tourist. I want to meet locals and learn how to live and appreciate the destinations like a local.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: The Paper Kites, Vance Joy, Kanye West, Beyonce, The Nationals, Mumford and Sons, The Head and The Heart, Jonsi, Sam Smith, etc. I really appreciate finding new musicians and I love listening to acoustic folk/indie.

Movies: The Harry Potter Series, The Family Stone, Philomena, Life is Beautiful, Hotel Rwanda. I usually enjoy serious or inspirational movies.

Books: I am not an avid reader, however, I tend to pick up non-fiction works. Or Kurt Vonnegut. Always down for some Kurt.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cave tubing in Belize was pretty sick. But then again so was climbing Mayan temple ruins. Oh and that one time that I went camping in the middle of Kenya.
