ABOUT ME

I'm currently taking a semester off from college to travel, read for pleasure, and figure out what to do next. So far I've been volunteering at farms in the Israeli Negev Desert, and it's been wonderful. Can't wait to see more/ meet new people.

PHILOSOPHY

Generally speaking, I don't believe in personal philosophies (let's talk about it, eh?), but:

"Better to be well hung than ill wed." -- Soren Kierkegaard.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

If I'd known about CS sooner, I'd have joined up sooner. I'm traveling now and can't wait to meet other couch surfers and hosts, but as soon as I'm settled somewhere with a couch or floor to share, I look forward to being an engaging and fun host wherever I am!

Interests

Good conversation, learning about everything, philosophy, science, music (listening and playing-- guitar and drums), photography, art, cinema, books, FOOD, nature, travel, other humans, new ideas, the whole wide world and beyond.
