About Me

CURRENT MISSION

“TWENTY YEARS FROM NOW YOU WILL BE MORE DISAPPOINTED BY THE THINGS YOU DIDN’T DO THAN BY THE ONES YOU DID DO. SO THROW OFF THE BOWLINES, SAIL AWAY FROM THE SAFE HARBOR. CATCH THE TRADE WINDS IN YOUR SAILS. EXPLORE. DREAM. DISCOVER.” – MARK TWAIN

ABOUT ME

I'm a college student from the USA studying in France till June. Lived in France when I was a kid, but I'm happy to be back and really excited to do some major traveling. I'm a military kid so I moved a lot and lived lots of places (Oklahoma, Maryland, France, Illinois, and now Florida for University) Hoping to see loads of new places and meet lots of new people. I want to see more than the tourist spots- I want to see how the locals live their lives =)

I've only got one more year of University left =( so I plan on finding a way to avoid the real world- and just travel and enjoy life- and hopefully make some money to support myself =)

LOVE WINS

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've heard so many good things, I figured I would give it a go- Surfed in Bordeaux for a weekend with some amazing hosts- I'm hooked- can't wait to be back in the US and offer up my flat. I live in Orlando (near mickey mouse) and the beach is so close too! Oh and I have a pool =) you are more than welcome to surf with me once I am back in the States.

Interests

Travel/cultures- I'm studying tourism, right now I think I will work on a cruise ship after I'm done at university

Sports- I'm really american when it comes to sports. AMERICAN football is my favorite- Baseball is good too- I love hockey as well- only of the fights =)
