About Me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted a handful of times and surfed a few couches. I like to attend local CS events when I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Communication is key. With the surfers I have hosted I've had a great time learning and sharing life experiences with both of them. Getting to connect with people makes CS a fantastic organization.

Interests

I like psychology and philosophy as well as reading and exercising. I am on my university's tennis team and I also know a variety of ballroom dances. One of the best compliments I have ever received is that I am an excellent listener.

Mindset - Anything can be interesting if you want it to be.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed up to the very peak of Preikestolen in Norway making my own path and got lost for a bit. :-\

Wandered around London all night in seek of a hostel. I saw gang warfare, was followed by prostitutes and ended up sleeping outside by a dude listening to Reggae music. 'twas an adventure :)
