Hey all! I'm 29 years old working higher education (NC State right now). I've moved around the USA and have visited coast to coast. I have my Master's in Public Admin. I focus on higher education policy, non-profit management, and mental health support. I'm really into wellness and a holistic approach to life (but everything in moderation!)

When I'm not working, I like to stay active. Currently training for a 5k. I'm hoping to do another mud race in the near-ish future. I love water sports and am a trained aquatics instructor. Kayaking is probably my favorite activity.

Fun fact about me: In April 2016, I visited 20 breweries in North Carolina.

States I've Visited: Arizona, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been talking about traveling for years but get realy nervous to travel alone. I find that my friends and I are never on the same schedule. However, I love meeting new people and hearing their stories and sharing experiences, so I wanted to give Couchsurfing a try! I can talk to just about anyone, and I'm always willing to try new things. I am hoping to meet new people to share the experiences with and learn about different cultures, experiences, and life stories!
