ABOUT ME

I'm a recent graduate from Georgetown University currently living in Washington DC. While studying in England last year I had a chance to couchsurf around Europe and met some fantastic people. Hopefully I'll be able to return the favor in the future.

PHILOSOPHY

There's something powerful about genuine honesty and openness.

How this applies to Couchsurfing:

I think the couch-surfing experience suffers if either the host or the surfer feels they need to filter their actions in the other's presence. Know that if you host or surf with me there is next to nothing you can do or say that will offend me in any way. Just be yourself-whatever that may entail.

Interests

I'm really up for anything, especially while traveling- nothing is better than taking a risk and experiencing something new.

I'm a pretty active person and enjoy getting outdoors, generally by hiking, rowing, and play tennis. That being said, there's no substitute for good conversation, something I look forward to at any couchsurfing experience. At university I studied politics and economics (two particularly bleak subjects at the moment), but equally- if not more- I enjoy conversations and shared opinions about subjects I know next to nothing about.
