CURRENT MISSION

Seeing the world, one piece at a time.

ABOUT ME

Well, I'm an on again/off again student at the Unviersity of Iowa, studying English and Art History. The on again/off again part stems from my discontent of staying in one place for too long and living a stagnant classroom/part time job/go home and sleep repetitive lifestyle. In my college experience thus far, 99% of the important things I've learned have been outside of the classroom.
I am taking the Spring '08 Semester off and hope to get a few in the country trips over the next few months (Mardi Gras) and hopefully (fingers crossed) go to Europe for a few months in the summer.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what you want, when you want...just do it with some tact.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd love to meet people with different backgrounds and get to show them around or vice versa, or, just host people who need a place to crash for a few nights (or, vice versa again).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet, but hopefully soon. I'm hoping to go to Mardi Gras this year...and maybe Montreal in March or April...if you're willing to host me, shoot me an e-mail!
