CURRENT MISSION

I like to meet new people who open my mind

ABOUT ME

Oh geez... How do I answer this? Hmm.. well I love to see new things and meet new people.. I like to stretch my comfort zone and constantly learn and experience more and more. People's stories fascinate me and I love hearing about other peoples' travels. I just came back from a ten month backpacking trip and feel like a changed person. When I first started traveling I felt it difficult and overwhelming to wake up and decide which city/country I felt like going to next.. Now I think it is difficult to break out of that.. I dont want to break out of that. Traveling forces a new perspective on life that routine in a country where I dont feel free supresses.

PHILOSOPHY

Right now this is something I'm a little unsure about. Basically, I thought I had my life all figured out-- school, work, live happily ever after. Then I went on a trip to Israel and decided that there was not much reason to return to my old life right away.. and continued traveling. Right now I am taking things as they come and learning a bit about myself and my philosophy along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Sometimes travel, sometimes host

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am a couchsurfing newbie! I did it a few times during my trip and people were incredibly hospitable. Once I get my own apartment in September, I would love to attempt to give back the same hospitality that I have received while traveling. I am also longing for people to exchange travel stories with and to meet some people who have a fresh perspective on my world/country/hometown.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most recently.. Experienced the hospitality of people in Turkey. I have never been treated with such open arms-- I felt so welcomed. This really demonstrated the potential humans have to treat each other so kindly. India has been the country that has made the biggest impact-- it is hard to explain why in just one paragraph.. but I am more than happy to share India stories!
