About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to better the world and make you smile. Laughing loudly and smiling frequently. Working for a tech events start up and traveling when I can.

ABOUT ME

I'm living in Budapest, originally from South Carolina in the US. Went to university in Virginia before making the trek to Europe. I plan to live here for a bit and wander around. Spent the last several years studying LGBTQ rights in Serbia with an interest in the region of former Yugoslavia. Now shifted a bit to technology and the conceptualization of work.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, so far I've only participated twice with the same person. But I'm looking to meet the couchsurfers from around the globe. I love making friends and I love learning about different people's experiences. I think this is a way I can do both while experiencing the generosity of others.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The best friggin time. Meeting people through Couchsurfing has been an awesome and rewarding experience.
