CURRENT MISSION

To Learn, Love, challange myself, and have as much fun as possible during the process.

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Amarillo, Texas I moved to Austin to get my degree in International Relations from St. Edwardâ

PHILOSOPHY

I think Tom Cochrane put it best, "Life is a highway I wanna ride it all night long, if your going my way I wanna drive it all night long." Life's an adventure and its short, so dont be an asshole.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This is my first time to try "surfing." I am excited to meet new people and contribute to the community as much as possible. I cant wait to see what I will learn from my fellow surfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

While I've never "couchsurfed" I once stayed on "the couch" of a family in rural Morocco. While the couch was just a rug on a dirt floor the family was so kind and loving. I didnt even speak the same language as they did, but I had a blast and connected with them on a level that didnt need words.

Interests

What does this question even mean? I'm interested in traveling, meeting new people, living and sharing life, Music, playing cello, good times, the Middle East, knitting, learning new Languages, going on adventures, wine, and Johnnie Walker.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in Morocco for 4 months and learned so much about Islam, the Arabic language, and myself. I made amazing friends and lived with a host family that was absolutely amazing. By far the hardest thing I've ever done, but the most exhilarating...besides skydiving.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've learned that happiness isn't always easy
I know how to knit and want to get better at it.
I want to learn as much as I can.
