CURRENT MISSION

My current mission in life is to branch out, ground myself by experiencing other cultures, other people

ABOUT ME

I'm a young traveler with little experience. I have an extremely open mind and crave adventure. I love change, typically fun things, and desire a better understanding of the rest of the world and it's perspective of life.

PHILOSOPHY

"Too many young folk have addictions to superficial things and not enough conviction for substantial things like justice, truth, and love." -Cornel West

"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion." -Albert Camus

"I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day." -Elwyn Brooks White

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to the CS project. I'm hoping to be able to utilize it while abroad in Europe this upcoming Spring and Summer. Hopefully in the future when I'm better settled, I'll be able to be more of a contributor as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm a newby! I have friends that have done it and my parents have hosted travelers before. I've only had positive experiences and generally find that this community is very kind.
