About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To experience something different.

ABOUT ME

I am 21 years old and live in Austin, TX. I've lived here forever. I have 3 full siblings (a 23 year old brother in AZ - artist, a 12 year old sister - middle schooler, and a 10 year old brother - elementary kid), I also have a sister-in-law and nephew in Denver.
I've had several jobs over the past few years. Most kind of regular/mundane. I did work in a jewelry store for about a year and a half and was able to learn how to bead, fix, and make different kinds of jewelry pieces. It was pretty interesting and always nice to pick up a skill. Now, I work as a receptionist at a water-cooler manufacturing company. They're all really nice there, but it can get a bit lonely.

PHILOSOPHY

I am still trying to figure this one out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am hoping to participate through using the couches in Europe to cut some costs and meet people from different cultures as they actually live. (Instead of just being a regular tourist and seeing other tourists at the usual historical hot spots.)

Interests

Jewelry, fashion, cooking, my little siblings (I try to see them often and treat them to movies), short stories, anime - manga and film/series, David Sedaris, movies, theater, music (I love the mandolin, I wish I could play it), literature, yoga (any), and more to come.
