About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore! Just like Dora...

ABOUT ME

I'm a 22 year old who just graduated college in December. Before I head into the real world I'm looking to travel abroad for a little while. I love exploring new places and getting off the beaten path. Playing soccer, going to the beach, and hiking are some of my favorite things to do. I'm usually up to try just about anything new.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what makes you happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet locals in places I may be travelling to, and to meet those who wish to come see where I call home.

Interests

Being active, sports and what not. I have played soccer my whole life, and still play pick up games of other sports with my friends when ever I am home. I love to travel (obviously), but have not done too much abroad. I have done more travelling in the U.S., but there is still so much to see. Food. I can be picky, but I have been expanding my horizons and have been trying new things.

Music, Movies, and Books

So many movies, but here are a few: Green Street Hooligans, Wedding Crashers, LOTR, Snatch, Zoolander.

T.V. shows: Friends, Scrubs, HIMYM, Suits, Family Guy, Vikings, GoT.

I've seen a lot. I listen to just about every genre of music except the dub step. I love history books about WW2, I just picked up another one on my way home from Indiana. Travel books have become a recent obsession, from Vagabonding to Travels With Charlie in Search of America.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sky diving over Interlaken in Switzerland.

Teach, Learn, Share

Slow down. The world is a large place and there is so much to see. Don't rush through it, take your time, take in the sights, take in the people, enjoy it. Don't make the world into a checklist that you need to get through. I learned this after my first major trip and plan to change my habits on the next one.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food, drinks, great company! Tips on where to go and what to see in the are, and if time permits I'd love to show you myself!
