CURRENT MISSION

I want to immerse myself in life, people, and travels. When I return, I would love to host folks traveling in the States!

ABOUT ME

I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that.
- Lloyd Dobbler (from the film Say Anything)

I just want to enjoy life, meet interesting people, and experience as much as I can.

PHILOSOPHY

As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the atomic age - as in being able to remake ourselves.

- Gandhi

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently I'm a traveling student from New York City. I graduate in the fall of 2010, when afterwards, I plan to relocate to Boston, MA. When I do, my couch will be available to all. This is an amazing opportunity to meet people from all over the globe and share life experience!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Will be in:

Edinburgh July 8th - 13th
London July 13th - 18th

If anyone can offer a couch, that would be greatly appreciated!
