I was born in Florida, but I've been travelling and moving around since I was 4 months old. I grew up mostly in Hawaii but when I was 5 years old we moved out of the country for the first time to Japan. From there, we moved to Singapore and then Hawaii, back to Singapore, and then to the Philippines where I graduated from high school.
Now, I'm studying Psychology and Economics at the best university ever, Penn State (can I get a "WE ARE!"?). The ultimate goal is to get an EdS in School Psychology so I can go back abroad and work at an international school.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Being in college is probably the longest I've ever stayed in one place. Travelling is a part of who I am and the wanderlust is probably going to be the death of me. I want to be able to experience the whole world, and it would be awesome to do that without breaking the bank.

Interests

I love studying Psychology and how human behavior changes. Growing up in Hawaii, I like to swim at the beach and go surfing. Living in the Philippines, I loved volunteering, building schools, and teaching kids in need.
In High School, I was a varsity swimmer, an actor, a technical theater director, and I played the violin and viola in the orchestra. In College, I am involved in Residence Life, colorguard, the honors organization in Psychology, and am a counselor for Outdoor School!
