CURRENT MISSION

After the time of my life studying in Europe, I'd love to treat my wanderlust by meeting some travelers!

ABOUT ME

I finished up my schooling and have just settled into my own adult life here in New York. I miss my time in Europe constantly and have only the fondest memories of my travels, so I'd love to be a part of someone else's travel memories here in the wonderful New York!

PHILOSOPHY

On life: "When we long for life without difficulties, remind us that oaks grow strong in contrary winds and diamonds are made under pressure."
On travel: "If you are twenty two, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel--as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them, wherever you go."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed a few times in Europe, fell in love with the concept and now hope to return the favor!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have surfed a few times, hosted a few, and mostly met up with people to show them around the city. It's all been great!

Teach, Learn, Share

The world's a crazy place and you're not going to like everyone in it. But there are some beautiful people out there, and if you never get yourself out there, you may never find any of them.
