CURRENT MISSION

Fulltime student, fulltime traveller.

ABOUT ME

Hello there! I am currently a masters student at the University of Leicester and love to travel on my weekends. I grew up in California and received my undergraduate degree from Oregon State. I've visited some amazing places but I always want to do/see more. Things I love: music, laughing, hiking, architecture, impromptu dance parties, soccer, reading, sleeping in, worry-free days, writing, relaxing...

PHILOSOPHY

"It's being here now that's important. There's no past and there's no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can't relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we don't know if there is one." -George Harrison

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to share my travel experiences and knowledge of abroad with others. I like to listen to what other people have to say be open to all cultures and traditions. Conversing over a beer (or in Eastern Europe, Wodka) about life, travels, experiences, cultures etc. is perfect.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All lovely times. Never had a bad experience. I've surfed a majority of the time but have hosted when at school in the US.
