CURRENT MISSION

To check out all the states I might end up in for school!

ABOUT ME

I live in El Sobrante/Richmond in the East Bay Area, where I work part time as a nanny and go to school part time. I have decided to complete the pre-reqs needed for speech pathology at Oklahoma State University and will be moving there in August to start my next adventure!

I was originally born in Illinois, but I mostly grew up in the Bay Area, with a brief stint in Los Angeles for college. It took me a while to figure out what I wanted to do after college (considered law, nursing, teaching, occupational therapy), but I eventually discovered speech pathology and am excited to be taking the steps towards making that dream a reality. It's a good thing I like school, because I feel like it's never going to end!

I've been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to travel to different countries and states and meet so many amazing people. I love food and beer and try to have as much local stuff as possible whenever I visit someplace new!

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have couchsurfed a few times now, and they were great experiences! I am so glad that I discovered this community!

I have lived in the Bay Area most of my life, so if anyone needs a tour guide or a companion for dinner/drinks, let me know!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have surfed on three couches, but I haven't hosted yet.

Interests

Right now, most of my time is taken up by studying and working, but when I have free time I like going to concerts, watching movies, hanging out at the bar, cooking/baking, planning parties, hiking, playing piano and singing (not very well haha). I feel like lately I've been doing a lot of planning, figuring out where to travel to next, and planning activities for my cousin's upcoming wedding.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like listening to country, folk, bluegrass, classic rock, oldies, musicals, jazz, classical, some indie pop and some top 40 stuff.

I watch pretty much all genres of movies, except for horror! I love comedies. The funniest comedy I've seen lately is Bridesmaids. Hilarious!

I like the classics. I majored in classical civilization, so I enjoy reading The Odyssey, The Iliad, etc. I'll admit, I got into the Twilight series, but I think I've grown out of it since then :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
