Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To meet as many interesting people as possible, learn and share with them.
ABOUT ME
I´m a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer. I spent 2008 - 2010 living in the coffee growing mountains of Costa Rica, and this summer I´ll be traveling around the US before going up to Evanstson. I´ll be a McCormick Scholar at Northwestern´s Medill School of Journalism.
Before Costa Rica, I lived in Austin, Texas for two years and before that I went to school at the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas. I attended high school in Doha, Qatar, middle school in Jakarta, Indonesia and elementry school in Lhokseumawe, Indonesia (in Sumatra). I was fortunate to grow up overseas and I intend to travel more!
PHILOSOPHY
Life is too short to get upset when things don´t go your way.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I would like to host people on a couch, but right now I´m couchless. So... I was hoping I could stay on your couch, you know, until then.
