About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I have been very fortunate and have had the opportunity to travel to several countries in the last few years. Since high school I knew I wanted to travel a much of the world as I could. Right now I'm doing my best to fullfill that dream.

ABOUT ME

I am an easy-going, friendly and fun person who really enjoys travelling. I've been fortunate enough to have travelled most of South East Asia last year and am no working my way through New Zealand and Australia. I have lived in Seoul, South Korea for the past two years and it has been the best experience of my life. I love meeting new people wherever I go. I've found living abroad has introduced me to all sorts of interesting characters.

PHILOSOPHY

It's your job to make yourself happy, no one else's. Don't expect people to hand everything to you, be willing to work for what you love and believe in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Though I have just recently joined CouchSurfing I have already been able to experience surfing with a great girl in Christchurch (Thanks Suzie!). When I return home I hope to start hosting when I am all settled.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far CouchSurfing has been a great experience.

Interests

I'm an avid reader and am currently reading the Game of Thrones series by George R.R. Martin. So far I'm loving it! I also enjoy movies, sports (especially soccer, American football, tennis, and lacrosse), music (open to any genre), art, and of course, travelling. I love meeting new people and hearing all of their travelling adventures.
