I'm a grad student at UNC chapel hill doing masters in public health. I've lived in 4 countries so far and have travelled to around 20 countries. I absolutely love traveling and exploring new places. I have paraglided off table mountain in South Africa, gone white water rafting, island hoping and snorkeling in Seychelles and Zanzibar, camping in the great smoky mountains, climbed mount Kilimanjaro.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A few of my friends have used couchsurfing before and love it. A close friend regularly hosts couch surfers and I've met some really cool people through him. I decided to give it a shot for a trip to San Francisco and it worked out so well. I ended up making two new friends out of it!

Interests

Hiking, camping, swimming, reading non fiction, trying to learn tennis. Pretending to eat healthy as I sneak into a fast food joint.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. Didn't reach the summit but got pretty close! I do want to attempt the climb again and make it to the summit.
