ABOUT ME

I have recently moved back to Virginia to pursue graduate school in Architecture after living in London. I'm originally from Washington DC, and spent 4 years in Chicago for undergrad. My ideal activity is an engaging conversation with a friend over a coffee or beer with a record playing in the back. I consider myself very open minded and value new experiences and ideas just as highly as things I already enjoy and am comfortable with.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone has their own personal values which should be respected. I try to live consistently and thoughtfully and avoid judging others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to use couch surfing as a way to better understand the place I am visiting. In my experience, hosts have always been eager to share their perspective, which is an invaluable thing. Likewise, I offer the same when there is an opportunity to host a traveller.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had the opportunity to stay with many amazing hosts who have taught me much. I have hosted one guest in the past and hope to host many more. Every experience I have had couch surfing has been a positive one. Meeting new friends is such a huge part of traveling, and this service makes it easy and efficient so I'm excited take more advantage of it.

Interests

I enjoy going to gigs, exploring new places, watching movies, reading, or simply loitering. Any activity that can be enjoyed outside is enough for me.

• coffee
• movies
• reading
• traveling

Music, Movies, and Books

There is too much to list at once, so I will add to this in time. Architecture and theory is the focus of my study, so I am naturally drawn to arts of this nature, though my interests are broad and seemingly indiscriminate.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Riding on the back of a motorcycle in rural Ghana as the sun was setting on a beautiful day is a memory that will remain vivid for me.

Additionally, crossing the Italian-Slovene border on foot via mountain summit was an unforgettable experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am completely willing to listen and learn from anyone and will do my best to offer wisdom of my own.
