CURRENT MISSION

To discover, alongside one of my best childhood friends, the beauty of European cultures, people, and landscapes

ABOUT ME

I grew up in a healthy home with plenty of wonderful role models and mentors. Moving to Los Angeles from a small Midwestern town was, in retrospect, the best decision of my life. I have found that gratitude, compassion, and wisdom are some of my friends' most attractive qualities. At the moment, few things seem more exciting than traveling to discover new places with one of my oldest childhood friends.

PHILOSOPHY

I firmly believe that love and compassion affect everything. I'm at my best when I treat everyone in my life in the same as I treat my best friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been fascinated by the idea of couchsurfing for the past couple years, but this is my first experience reaching out to complete strangers. I think couchsurfing is an essential metaphor for life in general, promoting communion amongst one another and encouraging the sharing/exchange of ideas, cultures, and life experiences.

Interests

I love anything related to the visual arts, from graphic design to feature films. If I hadn't studies film in college, perhaps I would have looked into sociology, psychology, philosophy, or English. Luckily, I get to incorporate all of those interests into my work as an editor.
