About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To grab life by the waist and dance with it.

ABOUT ME

one day I went with my two best friends to a secret tree house in the canyon. Once we got to it we realized it was covered in evil ants so we went to the river and read books all day in the sun instead and danced.

PHILOSOPHY

just do what you want. always.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I delight in meeting new people in new places. CS lets me do that! I always couch surf when I travel and host when I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My most memorable travel moments have not been the sites or events I have seen, but instead the interactions I have had with the amazing people I stayed with through couchsurfing. From impromptu late night picnics on the Seine in Paris to visiting our host's neighbors and friends in Amritsar, India to discussions of poetry and physics in Queens, New York, these moments were unforgettable.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While in Nepal I took a car from Chitwan to Kathmandu via this small, curvy road that went up and through the Himalayas. The ride took all day long and all I did was look out the window in awe. I have never in my life seen anything as beautiful as that landscape.
