- new to couch surfing

full time college student in Dallas studying theology, and part-time barista, saving to travel the world someday
I love learning, about anything. My main avenues of learning are people, experience, and reading, when the first two aren't an option. I love hearing stories, and telling stories. I do love school, theology, and history.

I love coffee and the avenue it is to connect with people. Maybe i'll be a traveling barista someday with a coffee truck.

Bottom line I love connecting with people in person. That's the best way, so I avoid getting to really know people through screens. Lets meet for coffee and talk, or go on a hike. Whatever you're down for:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For the past five summers I have traveled internationally. The best way to experience a culture is to be with the local people - - the people who speak the language and know the city.
but mostly because I love people and stories, and cultures.
CS is one of the best ways to combine all those things

Interests

stories, biking, hiking, camping, reading, meeting people, trying good coffee (I'm a barista) coffee shops, telling stories, listening to stories, trying new food, cooking good food, attending the symphony and ballet, history and museums, meaningful conversations, laughing, bookstores, learning languages, exploring, building a global community

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My best friend and I traveled to Mumbai, India this past year for one month. While there we went to the suburbs of Panvel and Thane, where we lived with the natives in rural villages in the hills of India. We spent our days just exploring and learning about Indian culture.
