About Me

Hi! My name is Hope, and I'm just your average 21 year old girl from the southeastern United States who loves golf and travel. I'm studying Professional Golf Management at Mississippi State University and will be a certified Golf Professional in December 2016. I did a sports marketing and media internship in Hong Kong for 8 months in 2014 and have been dying to see the rest of the world ever since. I'm very silly, yet adventurous and ambitious but I love to have fun! I've been told I smell like America, I think in a positive way, but my open-mindedness and lack of concealed weapons may contradict my overwhelming look of the typical sun-tanned blonde American girl. I'm just out here trying to surf on your couches.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

BECAUSE IT'S SO COOL...... I've never couch surfed but my flatmate in Hong Kong was the coolest person I've ever met and she sold me on the idea. I love meeting new people and the type of people who would give up their couches for wandering humans seem pretty cool to me. I'm also trying to see the world and ball on a budget due to my love for blowing cash on things other than shelter.

Music, Movies, and Books

My musical interests include Lana del Rey, Mumford and Sons, shitty American pop (yes I'm embarrassed), The Weeknd, 70s Soft Rock, and basically anything that makes me feel good.

Movies.... hmm this is tough.... definitely Frozen, and then I draw a blank... Movies are reserved for times in my life when I need background noise to sleep. and Harry Potter

Reading is another favorite activity. I've read all the shitty Twilight books and 50 Shades of Grey books and I'm unashamed that I loved them. Loved the Divergent Series, and Hunger Games, and obviously Harry Potter. I've read some pretty cool books about communist China. Love American lit, like Great Gatsby... and of course the best series written: A Song of Ice and Fire

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ran the social media for the 2014 Thailand Golf Championship and on the Monday of the week of the tournament, we visited the Grand Palace in Bangkok with the star players, and the special thing was they got to go inside the Grand Palace and ladies couldn't go in unless they were wearing traditional Thai attire BUT I was wearing a sarong (because my skirt wasn't long enough) and so I snuck in with the players and I got to tour the Grand Palace in Thailand, which is closed to the public, and I got to do it with 5 of the best golfers in the world.
