I'm a student at the University of Georgia in the Masters of Social Work program. I'm hopefully going to be working at a university or high school creating educational programming when I'm done with my program. I'm also a dancer and an adventurer. I like nothing more than learning about people and places and finding the beauty in the things around me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm leaving the United States for the first time ever and am looking for a more authentic experience than just staying in a hotel or something. My friend, Francois, and I are hoping to meet locals and see what Europe is really all about.

Interests

Social justice and activism, dancing (from tango to burlesque to contemporary), Netflix, learning more today than I knew yesterday.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've moved half across the country to a town I had never stepped foot in with only what I could carry on the plane and made it more of a home than I've ever had, after four years of staying on friends' couches without a real home.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories of love, of desperation, of courage, and truth.
I can share my smiles and good vibes.
I can teach you to dance.
