Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To eat, breathe, and produce nothing but beauty.
ABOUT ME
I am a student of Interior Design and Sculpting at the University of Alabama, currently spending a semester in Montpellier, France. I am preoccupied with the visual and often neglect the concrete aspects of life. What I enjoy most about traveling is seeing the architecture and sites of different places in the world. I have just recently come back from a trip to Bristol and Wells England, Amsterdam Holland, and Brussels Belgium, in which I couchsurfed through the profile of one of the friends I was traveling with. I am fairly quiet and reserved but once you get me talking can be fairly hard to keep quiet. My passions in life are design, music, love, and sculpting.
PHILOSOPHY
Live beauty.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
If I lived somewhere people would even want to go/ had the room to host, I would. But seeing as those are not currently possible, I would love to get to stay with some people for my upcoming travels, and I will pay it back when space permits =)
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I couchsurfed in Brussels, Belgium with two friends of mine recently. It was a good experience (we had been in a tent for 8 days before that and were very ready for a couch to sleep on) but I would love to couch surf with someone I really get along with and make new international friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Fallen madly and completely in love within a week. Best thing to ever happen to me, and I have never looked back.
Teach, Learn, Share
Life is about finding your own internal happiness. I cannot judge others if the things that make them happy are things that I don't value or agree with, just as I would not like them to do that to me. What makes me happy is being who I am, so people who can open their minds to other ways of doing things are the people that I surround myself with.
