I'm a 19 year old French major at Missouri State University. I like sushi, Indian food, good conversation, and the Oxford comma.

I adore Oscar Wilde.

I'm into social issues. I founded the thriving local atheist/humanist group Springfield Skeptics. I also worked extensively on the recent One Springfield NoRepeal campaign.

I'm a French major and linguistics minor at Missouri State University.

I was born in Turkey and lived there for a few months as a baby because my dad was in the Air Force.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a broke college student trying to see as much of the world as possible while I'm still young and have the freedom to travel, and the biggest barrier for me is the cost of lodging while away from home. Once I have my own place, I'd love to open my home to fellow travelers, but that's not a possibility right now.

Interests

I talk about language a lot. I'm currently reading about the word "so".

I'm involved in local social justice groups.

I've been playing guitar since I was 7, so if you want someone to jam with, I can do that.

I rock climb and will probably have my gear with me.

I enjoy intelligent conversation, but I'm also really good at being by myself.

Music, Movies, and Books

My music taste ranges from The Head and the Heart to The 1975 to Fall Out Boy to Ludovico Einaudi. The only genre I take issue with is Country.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Made it through the Spring 2015 semester while taking two classes at one school and two at another, working three jobs, and working on a political campaign.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you have a guitar that needs played, I can play it. Sometimes if I'm procrastinating, I cook fun meals. My laid-back personality makes me really easy to get along with.
