CURRENT MISSION

To involve as many characters in the randomness of life as possible.

ABOUT ME

Hey there! I really look forward to my next big adventure, since 3/4 of my year is weighed down by school. I've traveled to a number of places in Europe and Latin America, have taken two road trips through the US and Canada, and have biked from the east to west coast of these united states. There's hardly anything better in life than planning the next getaway from it. Maybe you all can help me with that.

PHILOSOPHY

i want to be surprised by something each day of my life, whether that means having my mind blown in a science/history class or being mugged. There's plenty of time later in life to look back and see what was worth it. (Some of it had to have been, right?)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to believe that the world is an open and welcoming place, and it has been from what I've experienced. Some of my past trips have depended significantly on the generosity of others, and I think that's an essential part of living - to involve people in unusual, extraordinary occurrences.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed nine times and hosted three.
