CURRENT MISSION

See the world, learn a lot, do good things for others.

ABOUT ME

I am a student with big aspirations. I study journalism and environmental issues and hope to work in a field that combines writing and ecology. I like to meet new people, try new things, explore in nature, cultural immersion, fairs, festivals, concerts, performances, etc. Some of my favorite hobbies are riding bikes, flying kites, eating fresh produce, practicing photography, reading and hanging out with friends.

PHILOSOPHY

Waste not, want not and sharing is caring!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Because I have only lived in dorm rooms and a small apartment, I have not yet been able to host. I am very appreciative of all of the opportunities to surf I have been given. Hopefully I will be able to offer a couch to others in the coming years! Until then, I am always happy to meet up with travelers and you around.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have CouchSurfed in Canada (Vancouver, 2010) and Indianapolis (Summer 2011). I hope to host in the future, when I have accommodations beyond my dorm room floor.
