CURRENT MISSION

Find where I'm supposed to be

ABOUT ME

All about me? In a text box? Impossible! But we'll be alright if you'll settle for "some about me."
I'm a pretty low-key person with a penchant for literature, story-telling, laughing, cleverness, and well-done satire.
My September-May persona is largely defined by school: I am history student, hear me matriculate.
When I'm not in school, I spend many of my afternoons reading and chatting in cafes, improving my mediocre guitar-playing skills, listening to music, biking, hiking, cooking, and general cavorting.
I also love dancing like a fool to tacky 80s and 90s dance music.

I also have an almost perverse love for cats.

PHILOSOPHY

Respect, dude.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've heard Couch Surfing will revolutionize the way you travel, and I'm up for being a part of that revolution!
I get lonely easily, and it's not always easy to find a travel companion - surfing a couch is a great remedy!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed with a lovely lady named Katrin while I was in Munich. I was sad and lonely during the preceding days, but my stay with her was a much needed and much appreciated "pick me up," and it really made my time in Munich more authentic.
Otherwise, I've met up with a bunch of folks for coffee, and hosted some lovely German girls, via my roommate. My host, Katrin, spoiled me with a breakfast feast, and it gave me great pleasure to do the same for the girls who stayed with us. Mmmm, waffles.
