About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see and experience new things.

ABOUT ME

I am the last born in my family creating an odd mixture of an extraverted introvert. Throughout the years of growing up I have finally become easy going and I have found a drive for adventure and challenge within myself. Although I am not well as well versed in the world of travel as I would like to be, I will not let this stop me from dreaming of all the amazing places I would like to go, and one day I will actually make a list- but it will take hours!

I am a university student studying Environmental Studies with a specialty in sociology and doing a certificate in International Development on the side. This is all to say that while doing my degree, I have taken it slowly and travelled to Kenya for a semester, and am gradually working towards graduation. I am currently travelling before I head back to school in January.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just started planning to surf..

Interests

I like to paint, draw, and craft- but am still learning.Baking seems to take up a lot of my time as pastries have a special place in my heart.When I am not in school I love to read, but when I am I cannot justify reading a book for pleasure while procrastinating on my textbooks.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: 500 Days of Summer. And every christmas I watch Bridget Jones' Diary with my sister.

Music: I listen to all, but my top 3 most played songs are: Gotta Have You- The Weepies, Dance So Good- Wakey Wakey!, The Cave- Mumford & Sons

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I have ever done was in November of 2011, I went to Naivasha, Kenya and biked through Hells Gate National Park. I biked beside zebras, warthogs, giraffes, and many more animals. I biked to the top of a mountain (a monumental event for me) and hiked all the way down into the bottom of the Hells Gate Gorge (google it!).
