ABOUT ME

Free-thinking life-enthusiast with a love of all things weird, unique, and thought-provoking. I'm a Senior at University of Central Oklahoma, majoring in Biology. I'm planning to backpack Europe then live in NYC when I graduate. I was raised in the suburbs of D.C., but was born in Oklahoma, and went to 2 other colleges in Virginia (I can't seem to stay in one place). My parents were never big on travel, so I haven't seen many places; because of this I have a pent up wanderlust that yearns for fulfillment.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn as much as I can, then share it with the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet interesting people in new locales and steal a spot on their couch, duh.

Interests

I love movies, books, and TV that make me ruminate or chuckle. I love trying new food, especially when I go to visit places. I love hiking and am getting very into climbing! I'm fascinated by anything biological and the breath-taking beauty of the world. I like going out, but more often than not, you will find me studying or on the computer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I couldn't pick one, I'm not good at decisions:
Seeing Niagara Falls up close on a boat literally took my breath away (that's when I first realized that "takes your breath away" wasn't just a saying, but something that you could actually experience).
Standing in the middle of Times Square when I was a kid, when I felt like I was in the center of the world and knew I had to live in NYC someday.
Snorkeling above a shark.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a bit about biology and chemistry from school. I know wayyyy too much about English accents (I find the differences incredibly interesting!). I know a lot of random, interesting facts, as well.

I would love to improve my French and Spanish language skills, or learn any other language really. And I could teach you English with a non-regional American accent! I also love meeting and learning from kindhearted and fun-loving people, as they represent the demographic I aim to be a part of every day.
