CURRENT MISSION

Explore Prague and the rest of Europe while meeting locals and travelers from all over the world.

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Texas and currently a senior at St. Edward's University in Austin, Texas. While I love Austin, I decided to spend this semester abroad in Prague, Czech Republic. While I'm here I would love to get to know this city from a local perspective rather than a tourist's. My main hobbies are riding bicycles and being outdoors, so it would be awesome to meet some local cyclists!

PHILOSOPHY

Live in the moment and push myself to be a better person everyday.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently I cannot provide a place to stay, but I would love to give Couchsurfing a try as a traveler. I also use Couchsurfing to find out about local events.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have not had the chance to host or stay with anyone yet, but have heard from friends that they have had great experiences through Couchsurfing. I look forward to having some great experiences of my own.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy pretty much any type of music. These days I lean towards Alternative, Folk Rock, and Indie, but I always enjoy some good rap, hip-hop, R&B or electronic music. As far as movies go, I also like everything, but I'm really not a huge movie person. Most books I read are generally non-fiction. Eckhart Tolle's Power of Now and A New Earth are among some of my more recent reads, and some of my favorites are Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential and The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sedlec Ossuary or "the Bone Church" in Kutna Hora in the Czech Republic

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help anyone with English speaking skills, and in turn I would be open to help with my Czech. I took many years of piano lessons, so I'm pretty well versed in music theory. I would also love to improve my piano playing or learn to play the guitar. My favorite thing to do is ride my bicycle, but unfortunately I couldn't bring it with me to Prague. I have access to a bicycle, so I would love to ride around with some locals. If anyone knows a place in Prague where I could rent or buy a single speed bicycle for relatively cheap, that would be amazing!
