CURRENT MISSION

Studying law in Virginia.

ABOUT ME

I love learning and attempting to be creative. I react aloud to movies and books. I'm a dog person. These are just a few random things about me... I guess the most important things are that I am an easy-going person who has a good sense of humor.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy includes a passion for social justice, open-mindedness and tolerance, and a constant search for new places and experiences. I believe that every person has at least one good story, and I want to hear it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing those couches

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Thus far I have surfed while traveling in Europe and Southern Africa.

Interests

I definitely am a person of varied interests. Music is my glorified hobby- I play banjo, bassoon, piano, and a bit of flute, but love listening to it most of all. Seeing live music is pretty much my favorite thing to do. Aside from music I love history and culture (including pop culture)- I love museums. I was a political science major so I am interested in current events, but I am open-minded and try not to lecture people on my viewpoints. Other interests are generally being outside as much as possible, being barefoot as much as possible, chocolate, and the ocean.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a month backpacking in Alaska- that's probably the most badass thing on my resume.

Teach, Learn, Share

Nothing particularly useful, but if you've got a banjo, I'll strum it. Always down for a sing-a-long. And I'll make you pancakes.
