CURRENT MISSION

To see as much as I can of Europe, in a two month time slot.

ABOUT ME

I've always been outgoing. And have found through my travels that others who like to experience life at ground level are also equally friendly. And so, I've found my niche.

I'm a conversationalist by occupation. The one thing I hate most in life is an awkward conversation. So, I do my best to fill in the gaps.

PHILOSOPHY

Just get over it and send out as much goodness in your handful of decades on this planet. Why the hell not?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was told about csurfing from a friend who travelled throughout europe and asia for a year. He said it was the best experience having not only a bed/couch, but the opportunity to build friendships in the nooks and crannies of a foreign community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first surfing experience was in Barcelona with a fantastic couple who were able to share insights to their city and after a full day of siteseeing they topped off my visit by making a gorgeous meal. Other experiences before joining this network would include sleeping off a hangover at a friend's house after too many gin and tonics.

Interests

As I'm quite tall people generally assume I'm into sports. Not so much.

I do like a good game of soccer/football, but haven't played in awhile. But I'm loving how worked up Europeans get over the sport.

I love to wander undiscovered streets. And to find quiet cafes to enjoy an americano misto.

I adore window shopping and thrift store hunting (as I've been on a student budget in what seems like forever)

I'm an animal person. If it's furry and has beady eyes, I'm all over it.
