CURRENT MISSION

counting down the days till i go back to college

ABOUT ME

Well here goes. My name is Amy I grew up in what I think is a small town. I graduated high school with 450 kids then went to college. I've always loved Albany because it's in the center of everything, two hours from the city, two hours to Syracuse, and two hours to the adirondacks. Albany has a very Dutch heritage which we celebrate every year at tulip fest. Ok but enough about Albany. In highschool I played field hockey and softball, then hockey in college. I snowboard and attempt to play any type of racket sport.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I am traveling and starting surfing but when I get home I would like to host and give back.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couch surfing is the coolest concept. I have actually lived with the people of the country I visit which is way better than staying in a hostel with more americans. I've eaten amazing Danish food and drank Swiss moonshine and embraced cultural differences. This is only the second place I've couch surfed but so far it's been incredible.

Music, Movies, and Books

I know I should readmore but I can't sit still long enough to finish a book. I love my music though. My favorite band is Guster and I like any type of alternative from Jack Johnson, Muse, Slightly Stoopid to the Bravery.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can't pick just one. Every country and city has offered me amazing experiences. I've been to 30 some states, Canada, England, Ireland, Denmark, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Greece, the Bahamas, and Dominican Republic. Right now I'd have to say cliff jumping on Corfu was my favorite.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love how this says I have "special knowledge". To be honest, I did not know how naive I was until I left home. I feel like I've been kept in a bubble almost sheltered from the rest of the world. I didn't think America was that big or influential until I arrived in europe. I have learned more here on my own than I ever thought I would. So I would love to learn anything - even math because I'm rubbish at it.
